22" Magic Arm Clamp, Overhead Phone Mount Holder Stand, Flexible Desk Camera Mount, Articulating Friction Boom Arm, for POV Shot, Filming, Light, Webcam, Action Camera

I got the ads on TikTok for this, which left me wondering if it was worth the hype. Short answer is yes. First and foremost- It's super well built. The main clamp is metal, the arms are metal, the joints are all metal. They even went so far as to add rubber o-rings to all the ball joints to increase friction. It's amazing. The catch is they cheaped out on the phone clamp included in the base. The spring and tensioning mechanism inside of it feels.... cheap and prone to breaking. That being said, the grip it has on your phone is super secure. Mega bonus points for including a cold shoe mount at the top of the phone holder- I have found this incredibly useful for adding a little battery powered LED light. This thing also packs and travels super well. It uses the standard tripod screws for the base at the top of the arm, making it endlessly configurable- I would have no qualms using this with a point and shoot type vlogging camera. I've even used it for a webcam. This makes it the perfect tool for streaming, product photos, or even overhead desk shots. The hallmark of any good product is how intuitive it is to use out the box, and this is where it shines. The Smallrig is worth the hype because it's built with insane quality for the price.

This SmallRig magic arm is extremely well built and feels very solid. The articulation is amazing and makes it easy to position cameras, lights, or accessories exactly where you want them. Once tightened, it stays locked in place with no sag. Perfect for desk setups, overhead shots, or content creation in general. Great quality and absolutely worth it.

I use this 22" aluminum alloy magic arm for unboxing videos. It offers flexible, stable mounting for my cameras, lights, and phones. In addition, if you need a higher mount to shoot a larger item, it can attach to just about anything. I attach it to a tripod, a chair etc. Easy peezy! It has anti-slip silicone pads, double-ball joints, to get that perfect shot. The arm stays stable even when I add my camera or if it’s accidentally bumped. Solid secure positioning for vlogging, live streaming, or video calls. It keeps your camera/phone suspended in space.

Pros: Very solid overall build quality. Once locked into place, it securely holds my iPhone 16 Pro Max with a Speck case and feels stable during use. Most of the assembly feels well-made and dependable. Cons: The phone holder itself is plastic, unlike the rest of the metal construction. It works fine, but it feels like the weakest part and may not hold up as well with frequent use. SmallRig does sell a metal replacement separately, which suggests this included holder is more of a basic option. Summary: A strong and stable mount with excellent performance, but long-term durability would be improved if the phone holder matched the rest of the build quality.

I do a bit of desk top conferencing---- big desk, big screen. This unit was very versatile. I mounted a webcam (logitech) directly to the mount at the top, created a very complex series of bends on the arm clamp and got a very adjustable camera angle. I did move the swivel arm (the swivel mounted to the base clamp (the clamp that would go on a table)) and it gave me a more refined extended angle which I needed. This was possible because the base clamp has a second threaded hole which you can utilize for just this purpose. I found the swivel to lock up tight enough to hold the entirely extended unit, with bends (which by the laws of physics made the camera end heavy). I'll see if over time it develops a "flop" which I won't like but it's not flopping. My original thought was to mount the unit on the left or ride side of my desk but 22 inches was not long enough. I instead mounted the base clamp behind the monitor and went under the monitor which is about 4 inches above my desk. The camera now extends directly infront of my monitor (by going under) and there's two more ball adjustments to elevate the camera and get the perspective just right. Bonus--can release one of the swivels and it lowers the camera flat for when I'm not doing teleconferencing--takes all of a minute to raise it back up--and my keyboard resides in front of all this--returning to a work station. Nothing is in the way. No more mini wobbly tripod. I would have mounted it to the monitor but that in all likelihood would have damaged the monitor. If they made a 36 inch arm, I could side mount and simply brush the arm to the side each day when the camera is not in use. Though I bought the unit to be permanent, the arm (if I purchase a second one) is perfect for iphone filming when travelling light to create static shots in impromptu filming situations. Fiddle about and you'll get it to do what you want--which is what it's designed for--versatility. I can't compare it to the competing neweer or other brands but I've had a few small rig products that are well made, quality control is good and if this isn't flopped in 12 hours it's a raging success!

I was surprised by the high quality of the materials used to make this. The hardware, the aluminum arms, everything about it is top notch! I think it's an absolute deal at the price! I'm Very impressed with SMALLRIG so far, Thank you.

Picked up one for each of my cameras. These are significantly more sturdy than the previous mounts I was using from the "N" brand. Like...I can't emphasize the sturdiness and stability enough. I am extremely impressed. Zero issues holding up Canon M500 or Sony A6400 with kit lenses. I can get everything at exactly the right angle and these are long enough I can actually do a comfortable overhead shot with my Sony. I got a new work space that is a lot larger than my old desk, and these have made it possible for me to film comfortably from all angles. I'm 100% happy. Will get again.

This feels great and stability wise is very nice. Smallrig has very nice products all the time. The grip fits anywhere and holds tight.
