I have a bad feeling about this item. The price was lower than comparable offerings by Manfrotto. The aluminium tubes have a considerable diameter and should be very strong. The joint between mid-length arm and its smaller-diameter oblique support is machined aluminium, and also looks fine. The arm articulates against its wall attachment plate by two 5MA screws, which considering the leverage exerted by a long boom on the relatively short attachment plate are loaded with a shearing force of maybe 50-70 kg when the arm is extended and the rated 7 Kg load is attached at the end of the beam. The 2-2.5 mm iron sheet used for the wall plate is a bit too thin, not reinforced by creasing the plate, and slightly deforms and creaks already at a much lower load (3 Kg without extending the boom). The end of the boom that accepts a spigot is metal cast, and this is fine. The lockable joint that keeps the arm horizontal is plastic and way too thin. It flexes when the locking knob is tightened, and still allows the beam to sag down. It is not acceptable. The joint between the two pipe sections where the beam extends is also plastic. It does not carry a heavy load and, with the arm horizontal, slippage is not a problem, so the use of plastic may be acceptable here. All in all, this wall arm will work for a load of 1 kg, maybe 2. A 4-5 kg load already makes the central arm support slip even if the boom is not extended, and I am not going to trust it to carry an expensive Bowens monolight. I will be in the market for a better wall arm soon enough.Read full review
