22" Magic Arm Clamp Kit, Overhead Desk Camera Mount, Long Articulating Friction Boom Arm for Phone, Action Camera, LED Light, Microphone, K&F CONCEPT

I ordered this product to attach an audio recorder to my tripod during the upcoming launch of NASA's Artemis II. Installing the product to my tripod couldn't have been much easier, and the device is capable of holding more weight than I imagined it could. In my photo, you can see the magic arm holding one of my canon DSLRs (T3i) with a dual-battery grip – I'm not sure I'd trust it to hold my camera this way for long, because the adhesive rubber pad in the clamp was beginning to slide, but it was pretty amazing to see it was capable of it. I'm not deducting from my review for the slightly sliding adhesive, because I was testing it in a way that seems too far from the weight category this item is expected to hold - and I'm confident this issue isn't present when only using a phone, action camera, or other lightweight device.Included are a few attachments – one for an action camera, one for holding a cellphone, and a clamp that can be attached to a table or a bar (like handlebars or a tripod). The action camera part is the standard size used on Gopro, and the magic arm will be more than sufficient for holding a small camera like this. The cellphone one automatically grips your phone – you just pull the sides apart and it clamps onto your phone when you let it go. I gave it a good shake, and the phone didn't budge. The arm features a 1/4-20 thread on each end, which is the standard mount thread for cameras.Adjustments are easy, and you can get your camera in just about any position you'd want - but there is a bit of wobble where the clamp meets the arm if you don't really put some effort in torquing the arm into the threads. An allen key is provided, and there are little holes in the mount to allow you to use it as a lever, presumably for this purpose.At the time of writing, the list price is in the $45 range. Initially, I thought this was a bit steep – but the magic arm is a lot more robust than I imagined it would be... Almost the entire body, excluding the grips and rubber pads, is made of metal - and I certainly never imagined it would be capable of holding my heavy DSLR.Overall, a great and functional tool for anyone looking to attach a phone, action camera, or anything with a 1/4-20 thread to a table, tripod, or handlebars.

This arm clamp is very sturdy and well built. The knobs do not feel like they would snap and tighten very securely. The grip opens decently wide and can mount on most things like piping or tables pretty well. The arms themselves have foam padding to prevent scratching. It's lightweight and can fold to a very portable size. You can position it in almost any way, and the anti-rotation locking pins will keep the arm from dropping. The included phone holder is a nice addition, though pretty cheap-feeling. The arm itself has additional standard 1/4" and 3/8" mounting holes to add more accessories, which also have anti-rotation holes.Overall this is a well designed arm that works very well for small cameras or smartphones or anything else with a standard tripod screw.

Got this for my granddaughter who is into photography and graphic design, and she was very pleased to be gifted with it. This arm kit is very adjustable and allows placements and angles of cameras or phones to be just where a photographer would want them. Hardware and materials used in the product are very high quality, and the design is thoughtful, lightweight, compact when folded, and very transportable.However, the arm isn't rock-steady, with some detectable flex coming from the first joint right off the clamping mechanism. That's disappointing and would require using a timer or remote shutter release to eliminate movement at the moment of taking a photo. If a remote release or timer is a viable option, then this kit would be a good choice. Otherwise, there may be studier options to choose from.

As a prosumer photographer, I’m always on the hunt for new ways to control or manipulate not just the item being photographed, but the light source itself.This K&F magic arm is a VERY high quality clamp-on arm with several ball joints to find that exact perfect angle. It’s extremely easy to use and comes with standardized threads on each end.. so all of this is useful in ways other than just as a magic arm with just the parts it came with, which provides maximum versatility.It’s a great size for camera backpack versatility, weighs the right amount, functions better than you’d expect, and holds the lighting with expected stability.I really like this arm, and I think my next use will be with a huge suction cup an action camera, and a fast car!!

This mount feels high quality right out of the box. There are no sharp edges, rough seams, or unfinished spots, and everything feels solid and well machined. The clamp grips securely without feeling flimsy, and the arm holds its position well once tightened.The adjustability is the standout feature. It’s very easy to fine-tune the position and get things exactly where you want them, whether you’re mounting a phone, camera, or accessory. Adjustments are smooth and intuitive, and it doesn’t feel like you’re fighting the hardware to get the angle right.Overall, this is a well-designed, sturdy mounting solution that’s easy to work with and feels built to last.

I recently got the K&F CONCEPT 22-inch magic arm kit for my photo studio workbench, and it’s fantastic. The arms articulate smoothly in multiple directions, making it easy to position my lights, phone, and action camera exactly where I need them. The clamps are extremely strong and secure, gripping flat surfaces or cylindrical objects without slipping. What really impresses me is how well built it feels, constructed from sturdy aluminum, it’s solid, durable, and built to last. The anti twist pins and non slip silicone pads give added stability and peace of mind when holding heavier equipment.On top of that, the design is unique and distinctive, making it not just functional but visually appealing in the studio. Overall, it’s a versatile, strong, and high quality set that any creator, streamer, or photographer will appreciate.
