This was purchased for use with a 900g spotting scope. The clamp arm holds the scope better than by hand. It is small enough to fit in a rucksack and turns trees, fences, gates etc into a makeshift tripod. It seems durable enough and although of metal construction, weighs about the same as a mug of coffee. One cog wheel locks everything in place making set up a breeze. There is a 1/4" male thread at either end so this bit of kit is very versatile allowing attachment of things like lighting, DSLR, or another clamp to hold a monopod. I am still finding more applications for this brilliant little gadget and would recommend it.

Not up to the job. Very fiddly to use and very loose when tightened up even at its fullest. Tried to use it with a small, lightweight video cam and it would not hold it tightly enough to keep it still. The process by where it is tightened in place is very time consuming to do properly and even when fully tightened, the camera flops about and moves at the slightest touch. So overall not really up to the task, unless one was using an extremely light piece of equipment such as a dash cam made of plastic weighing an ounce or so.

The whole friction arm is decent. I love, that: 1. It is made of metal (except tightening handle, about it later). Areas to improve: 1. Plastic tightening handle. I've broke mine already, it is easy to break it by tightening friction arm too much. 2. Clamp and flash shoe tightening mechanisms. Although it is easy to screw it by hand, camera weight is larger than the force holding tightening points stable, my clamp tends to unscrew itself.

I was looking for something to mount a webcam on a church pulpit. Since the webcam has a standard ISO thread, it fitted. The webcam is very light so this had no problem holding it. This has done the job perfectly. It is very good value and more suitable for my purposes than the alternatives.

Bought this to make a macro flash rig for canon 700d. Used a flat bar off the Base of the camera to attach the magic arm to, corded flash trigger from camera to end of arm and attached a canon 320ex flash to the end. I found the central clamp knob to work well easily holding the weight of the flash in any position. The only problem then faced is the power of the swing of the arm with the increased weight Un doing the locking nut which holds the arm to the flat bar (not locked off by central knob) when moving the camera fast to the left. By taking the time to thourally tighten this before setting arm into l place I've found it works perfectly and my flash rig is quality! And looks great too! If you can't afford a manofrotto these are a total barging!
