SMALLRIG Rosette Magic Arm 11 Inch with Ball Head, 1/4"-20 Screws, and Anti-Twist Pins, for Cameras/iPads/Monitors/LED Lights/Smartphones/Action Cameras, Max Load Capacity 3kg

The SMALLRIG Rosette Magic Arm has quickly become one of those essential tools I grab almost every shoot. It’s well-built, reliable enough to mount my cameras to, and incredibly versatile. Right out of the box, this feels like a quality piece of gear. The machining is well done and this thing is unmovable when tightened up. The 11-inch length is a perfect balance: long enough for creative positioning, short enough to stay compact on a camera or cage. The ball head gives smooth, precise adjustment, and the locking knobs are easy to tighten securely without over-torquing. I will admit, it took a little time to be able to use this arm efficiently, mostly because I'm a bit clumsy, but I would consider it best on market for price/quality. I’ve used this for mounting light panels, cameras and monitors and honestly, it works great for all of it. It’s become something I grab reflexively because it solves so many on-set mounting needs without fuss. Setup is quick, and adjustments are smooth. Bottom Line Totally worth it.

So far this has been a super sturdy arm, far superior to many other magic arms I have encountered. They are not a noga cine arm, they have some limitations in the precision of where they can be fully tightened. I suspect this is due to a small number of teeth on the rosette mechanism. But still, very very solid - easy to unlock and relock. The arri standard locating pins retract and the rubber pads are decently adhered but I suspect will eventually be destroyed and fall off with removing and tightening. Huge value for the money, but still not the quality of a proper Noga cine arm.

I got this to attach my split keyboard mouse and iPad macro controller to my chair. It works great for what I need, but honestly I wanna talk about how well thought out this thing is. The whole thing is adjusted with one knob, which by itself is pretty cool, but they went through the process of adding knurling to the ball heads and meshing teeth at the handle so that the thing does not even think about moving once tightened. The arms themselves are solid, and instead of just being tubes, they put some design work in to make them stronger where they need to be to sturdily support whatever you're attaching. I use them to hold an apple magic track pad for my right hand, and an old heavy iPad I've converted to use as a macro pad on my left and it doesn't bounce or flex while I'm using either. They point where it connects at the end has spring-loaded pins that help to keep the item from backing out by spinning, and there's even a hole you can use with an allen key or other tool to apply decent torque when tightening them down. If had one of my cameras on the end of this, I'd feel no anxiety about it staying there. I am not being paid to say any of this. I didn't get anything free, or any promotional discounts. I don't know anyone at this company. I paid full price, and would do it again, though I have the feeling this thing will be doing its job for my lifetime, and possibly some other's. I subscribe to the buy once; cry once philosophy for things I use more than once, essentially buy a quality lasting item, and spend some extra money, so you don't have to buy it again. It's not really a bank breaker, either, so it was an easy choice. If you can't tell I recommend this.

I needed a versatile Mount for my monitor on a cinema rig. I like to use wild angles so I need to see my monitor from anywhere! With this magic arm I can get my screen right where I need it no matter what. It has an unexpectedly solid build for its price point. Rock steady locking in any position. This is the best magic arm I have used so far. I can also use this with an EVF in the same spot. Feels like it was made by a high end manufacturer like Arri. Great value for the price. I hope this helps!

This was definitely a great pickup I have used this so many times on so many productions, what I like about this clamp versus most clamps is that it has the locking pins on the end so I can truthfully secure my device, but I also like the Rosette style locking system to make sure that my device won't slip out of place once I get it locked in.

These arms are so strong. I never worry about them working loose when I’m in the move with my camera.

So this is a great piece of kit. But it is clunkier. The other Small Rig Arm adjusts in tiny increments, this one only adjusts in larger increments. Just think small gears vs larger gears. None of this is bad, but expect something different if you are used to the smaller arm. Great quality, would hold a lot. Just not for me.

Solid piece of kit.

Fantastic... great quality, sturdy, and extremely useful!

Sólidos y de excelente calidad. Los uso también para fotografía y confío en este brazo suficiente para montarle mi Canon EOS R5 con un EF 28~300 mm f/3.5-5.6 L. Son 6 mil dólares de equipo y 2,500 gramos... así de bueno lo considero.

Great product. Just go for it.

This is such a solid design. Highly recommend this over any of the other ones you can find.
