TARION Magic Arm with Super Clamp - Upgraded 11inch/28cm Flexible Camera Articulating Friction Arm Mount & Adjustable Crab Clamp with 1/4" 3/8" Thread Screw for LCD Monitor LED Lights Action Camera

These magic arms come in so handy for anything that you might need one for. I've used them to hold speakers, cameras, phones etc. They are small but have a huge reach meaning they have wide range of positions to hold your kit in. They are really competive in price and certainly worth it. I have bought 3!Unlike previous stands that I've used, these have great grip and with the dual thread, it makes it really quick to lock them off onto the object. They are really solid, built of metal so can withstand a lot of weight too.

Great

It was ok tbf but much smaller than I thought. I couldn’t use something this small for my needs. It was well made though. Returned.

This nifty little device has drastically helped improve the content I can capture on a job. By trade, i'm a photographer who does a lot of events. I'm always trying to get more content for tik tok or Instagram ( which can be really hard to do whilst you're trying to focus on the job you're getting paid to shoot)A little magic arm like this really does make a huge difference. I'm able to add my 360 camera to the side of my camera using the tripod mount!The arm is also incredibly versatile. once loose, I'm able to position the arm in any direction I need it to be in. Once tightened, it's incredibly durable and won't move an inch if you don't need it to!A very worthwhile investment for any content creators who want to start shooting more content for social media! very much recommended

Broke after one use and smashed my £3,000 camera and £1,000 lens in which were rented

Ok, lets deal with the elephant in the room. It's not really magic. It is however, as many other reviewers have stated, a really clever and useful design. I don't know who came up with this specific design originally but I take my hat off to you. This clamping, articulated arm can be positioned and then locked in place by tightening a single wing nut at the elbow. When tightened it pulls everything together so that the ends and elbow all lock up tight.I used this to clamp a camera to my shed for surveillance while I was away. The clamp opens up plenty wide enough for most applications. The arm and camera stayed perfectly and solidly in place for more than a week with no sign of weakening. The only issue I had was that it rained and some water ended up sitting in the elbow joint causing some surface rust. This happened very quickly. I cleaned this off using wire wool and then applied some silicon grease to all the joints to protect them.This is a compact and very useful arm which has a multitude of potential applications. It has a standard tripod mount thread and a second slightly larger thread. There are a number of adaptors included. One of these is a plate which appears to be an adaptor to allow the arm to be attached to your camera's Hotshoe. I'm not sure I would normally be attaching something so heavy to this but others may be more familiar with newer techniques and equipment that require this.This arm would be an invaluable piece of kit for travelling, especially if you like to do long exposures.

Good quality construction which provides a solid mount for the camera. Doesn’t require too much force on the wingnut to tighten the elbow. No sag if the load is within spec (2kg).

I'm not massively into photography, but I have a Nikon Coolpix P500 bridge camera as well as a couple of LED Light blocks, and I like to play around from time to time. The lack of a remote shutter on the camera means that if I'm wanting to do something which requires a steady hand I need to use the timer, however sometimes even a timer with a steady-ish hand isn't the best... so having this Tarion Magic Arm Super Clamp is an essential accessory for me.There were no instructions, but it didn't take too long to figure it out. There's clamp which you can attach to a desk, or a pole, and then an arm which you attach to a camera (or light block). There is a tightening clamp in the middle which not only locks the arm's vertical movement, but also the joint on the desk clamp and the camera - a very clever mechanism that nearly bested me!!The whole unit seems to be of very high quality and very well built.I've been using this a little over a week now, and it's allowed me a bit more freedom and a bit more precision when trying to take product photos of things to sell on eBay (having a bit of a clear out, and this has actually helped a lot).Very highly recommended.
