I love the build quality, versatility, and reliability of the SmallRig items that I've bought over the last few years. I now own quite a few different clamps, arms, cages, adapters, etc., and they have all been excellent. This super clamp and Magic arm combination is no exception. I've bought this exact set several times, both together and separately, for a variety of uses. It's easy to position and once securely in place, I know it will not budge. I trust it with my most valued gear for exactly this reason.Despite what some reviews suggest, when tightened and mounted properly, this arm and super clamp combo absolutely can hold digital cameras with interchangeable lenses securely in place. This is true even when that gear is suspended in a top-down configuration for overhead photography. I use this Magic arm and clamp to hold a Canon EOS R mirrorless digital camera above my illustration desk (see attached photo) for overhead photography, video, and live streaming. It works brilliantly, even with larger, heavier lenses. I have used this with a fairly heavy Nikon 105mm Micro D lens mounted to the EOS R via a Nikon-to-Canon lens adapter with zero issues. I also used two of the super clamps found in this set to mount two ring lights above my illustration desk and it holds them securely in place, although I purchased those as a set separately (also here on Amazon).This arm/clamp can also be used for other purposes than photography and video. I recently upgraded my pen tablet display monitor and affixed it to a VESA arm on the left side of my desk. The setup was great, but I quickly realized that I didn't have a good place to set up the remote that I use to trigger shortcut keys in most of the creative software I use. There was just no place to put it to the left of, or below, the display. I then got the idea to use this arm and clamp to mount my Huion Mini Keydial remote to my desk and place it in front of my pen tablet display. I used a large phone holder on a mini ball-head adapter, attached to the Magic arm to set up the remote in front of my display (see attached photo). I really liked this setup, but the initial position wasn't quite right for me. I later repositioned the arm (very easy to do) a little below the display and now it's perfect! I can rest my hand on the remote, trigger keys continuously, put a fair bit of weight on the remote, and it does not budge! Brilliant.I really like gadgets that serve a lot of different purposes and this set does just that. I will likely pick up a few more of them to use for other purposes, such as repositioning my boom mic and extending the reach of the desk-mounted arm that it's currently attached to, and using one to attach the mic to a tripod while shooting photos or filming video on location. I really don't think I could have too many of these on hand. There's always some unexpected problem that these things can solve. I love them!

I’d give this 5 stars but the one start missing is because the clamp almost seems specifically only for pipes or rods. Using it on a desk or other flat surface it doesn’t have a lot of contact points but I will say the sturdiness and strength of the thing is incredible.

I'm very pleased with the quality, this thing is super sturdy!NOTE: Turning the thumb screw in the center joint also tightens the ball sockets on both ends, so if the ball sockets aren't holding, just crank down really hard on the thumb screw and they will be very rigid. I don't know how this works but there must be a wedge inside connected to rods extending out to each end or something like that. Very clever engineering!

I like this gadget I use it all the time to hook up my DJI Osmo Pocket 3 to my bags, in my car, my table, and more! Pretty stable! and locks well!

I can mount this in so many locations, it makes it's very easy to set up camera angles for performances. Clamps to just about anything. Make sure lock nuts at each end of magic arm are fully tightened for best results. Very useful product.

Very sturdy. Holds video monitor well.
