Sinvitron® 11 inch Magic Monitor Arm + Large Super Clamp Large Crab Pliers Clip for DSLR Rig Camera to Monitor LED Light

Great little gadget to help you while filming. All metal construction (apart from tightening handle) so very strong. Comes with photography shoe adapter and clamp so there are numerous ways to attach this to something. All ground is covered in the box!! To use it you must first unlock the center bolt by turning the handle. Then ALL joints become loose. Then position it how you like and hold in place with one hand and tighten with the other. All joints will then become locked in place and hold their position. From base to tip it measures 11" and it can hold up to 2kg. It is a tad heavy at 248g (haven't confirmed this weight though) but to be honest once it is added to the camera rig I hardly notice a difference. It doesn't have to hold a monitor. You can attach any number of items to this. As long as it has a 3/8" thread you'll be fine or you can get a 1/4" adapter if you need one. Recommended? YES Sir!!

This does its job well and looks good. The look and feel of the whole device is great. The clamp works very well and I like the versatile range of adaptors for the other end, which allow you to connect to the device via a 1/4" male' 1/4" female, and hot shoe insert. A cold shoe fitting would have been a helpful part of the package, but I have a few already, so no big deal for me. Two things I don't like about the device betray a slight lack in quality: 1 the ball joints at each end are crunchy rather than smooth 2. the tightening screw for all the joints is plastic and because you need to tighten hard to lock everything to a decent strength, it feels a little like it could break - it hasn't, or it wouldn't have got a 4* review! So, a versatile and solid product, but I can see why it is the cheapest of its type. If you can put up with these concerns, it's a good buy.

Monitor arm clamps, magic arms, etc are extremely useful when you need to add various attachments during fim making. I have use these to attach monitors, additional lights and small cameras for overhead shots. They are fairly stable, up to a point; that is, providing they are really tight and the weight they are carrying is not too large - no dslr's here, then. they are great for monitors - as in the description, and for small lED lights, or small cameras - I regularly use mone to hold a small a5000 for small scale film work and to get overhead shots that a tripod has difficulty achieving, even with an extension arm. A supplementary action cam is also very good, where you want another perspective or to mix stills with movie footage. I have a couple of these, which I use all the time, so consider getting one or two for an alternative view and/or extra lighting. This is a good product that is excellent value compared to other similar products that are more expensive.

I bought this to mount my shotgun above my monitor. As my monitor is attached to a desk-mounted stand I wanted to clamp an arm like this to the monitor mounting pole (approx 30mm in diameter) but didn't want to splash out on a big name brand like Smallrig because the price difference is a substantial jump but the mic is reasonably light. The clamp is really stright-forward, as you'd expect. There are two mounting holes for the arm, one on either side of the hinge. The arm itself works pretty well. I didn't realise at first that the knob tightens all aspects of the arm - the two swivel "balls" along with the "elbow" of the arm; I thought it only tightened the "elbow". All in all it worked pretty well. The arm holds the mic just fine and there doesn't seem to be any play, even if I push hard on the joints. I'd probably go with an alternative to mount a DSLR (or something else notably heavier) though if you're extending the arm out. Really pleased with it for my use though.

Bought a couple of these to use when teaching and holding iPad during lockdown. At first, secure and very versatile but after a month, the joints started to loosen and they both became useless. Not easy to tighten/ repair but I imagine it is relatively straightforward, so the company could provide some simple maintenance tips as the clamp will have to withstand regular changing of positions. £20 each is not cheap so £40 feels like a poor deal overall. Lots of potential as a product if better durability and I’d like to see a slightly longer, thicker version manufactured. Update Buyer has offered to replace products so increasing rating as good customer service .

Hello This is a good bit of kit for multi positioning your tablet or larger mobile phone when clamping to the leg of a tripod for live view shooting. The arms do take getting used to a little when positioning the screen to the correct angle but this is down to me not having this sort of arm before and NOT the design. The metal material gives a feel of confidence when using as it is not a chunk of lightweight plastic. The clamp its self secures extremely tightly and holds the weight well. Its strong enough to crush your fingers very comfortable. I can use mine to attached to my metal bed frame and watch my tablet in bed......BUT NOTE.....you will need to purchase a universal tablet tripod mount adapter as the arm does not come supplied with on. It does come with a hot shoe should you need to attach a flash gun for off camera flash slave use. More information is supplied in the manufactures specification. Thank You Good Bye

This is a nice lightweight alternative to the proper Manfrotto Magic Arm. I'm very happy with the arm and use it, with a phone grip, to position my iPhone with my camera to work hands-free when using a Miops, Triggertrap or Camranger. I attach the Magic Arm to my tripod vertical and screw on an Ipow Universal Cell Phone Tripod Mount. I then have the camera and phone right next to each other whilst holding neither! The Sinvitron does have it's limitations especially in terms of the weight it can hold. It would never be strong enough to hold a DSLR - for that you buy the Manfrotto. But it's fine what my needs i.e. to hold the phone. The clamp, however, is rubbish and possibly dangerous. I did initially try to use the clamp to attach the arm to my carbon fibre tripod. It is a little small for the purpose and would not grip sufficiently. I could tell that tightening the clamp would not improve the grip, it would just break the tripod! So, having put the grip back in the box, I now use a Superclamp instead. All in all a good little 'Magic Arm' for lightweight jobs but beware of the clamp. For something strong and reliable go for the Manfrotto Magic Arm.

UPDATE 9/2016: I have had the chance to try another unit and it worked really well! I still don't think it's the sturdiest out there but it's true that it doesn't claim to be. I think the claim that it can support 2kg is warranted. Works with my Canon 600D and heavyweight lenses weighing around 500-700g and so I am happy now and would buy this again. Great and very affordable! *** Not as sturdy as I would like it to be as it has trouble supporting my EOS 600D with an 80mm lens. To be fair it would most probably be 5* if I intended to use it with a lighter camcorder for example or a compact camera. Overall good product but not as sturdy, hence wouldn't recommend it for DSLRs really.

Fühlt sich deutlich größer an, als der 7" Magic Arm, den ich bisher hatte (noch habe) - Feststellung über eine große Rändelschraube, die auch mit Handschuhen gut zu bedienen ist - in ganz wenigen Einstellungen mit Belastung an der Belastungsgrenze treten Instabilitäten auf, aber damit war zu rechnen - sonst ein für mich gelungenes Produkt, was Freude am Arbeiten mit sich bringt! Bilder werden nachgeliefert - mitten in Covid19 ist sowohl die Internetverbindung eine Katastrophe, als auch die Zeit mit Homeoffice etwas knapp bemessen - ok, die Bilder habe ich im Moment fertig gemacht, allerdings scheint das mit den Bildern im Moment nicht zu klappen - kann leider keine hinzufügen :(

Un petit bras articulé qui permet de régler son matériel qu'on fixe dessus. Cependant il faut s'armer de patience pour le régler parce que quand ne serre pas le boulon, les tetes ne se serreront pas et de tenir le matériel et dans la bonne direction avant de serrer la vis du milieu tout en gardant en tête le mouvement qui se passera lors qu'on lachera l'ensemble, la pince de fixation. N'ayez pas les gros yeux parce que si vous fixer sur une plaque cest OK mais sur un tube c'est autre chose et ne pensez pas pouvoir l'attacher sur du gros tubage malgré la marge de la pince, elle ne tiendra pas dessus ou glissera.

Prodotto arrivato nei tempi promessi nonostante il periodo di crisi (Covid19). Il braccio si presenta di buona fattura, piacevole al tatto e robusto a sufficienza. La peculiarità di questo supporto è il fatto che con una sola manopola si bloccano tutte le articolazioni. Quindi si allenta il braccio con l'unica manopola, si posiziona la camera, smartphone o altro nella posizione desiderata e si stringe. La stabilità appare buona con smartphone, action cam e piccole camere video. Non ancora provato con reflex ma dovrebbe tenere. Da acquistare.

Funciona bien, es de calidad y sujeta fuertemente. Lo utilizo para sujetar el grabador de audio Zoom H5 al Boompole de Rode. Para ser perfecto, la barra metálica plateada (para atornillar el cangrejo) no debería quedar "suelta" porque se mueve y mete ruido (que queda recogido en el micrófono).

Sopporto abbastanza robusto regge tranquillamente la mia fotocamera che però pesa meno di 200 grammi, secondo me a naso più di mezzo chilo non legge, non tanto i braccetti quanto i giunti a sfera privi di manovella che dunque non possono essere stretti la loro forza praticamente è costituita dall' alltrito che la sfera fa contro l' alloggiamento che la contiene. Qualità prezzo buona, consigliato a chi non ha presese particolari Se dovete montarci roba pesante o farne un uso professionale non è proprio il caso
