For the price, this boom arm feels very sturdy and strong. The clamps for the boom and telescopic extension have nice large thumb handles which secure confidently. I am using this for Web Cam (YouTube recording) purposes. You do need to account for the resulting camera angle when you position the boom arm. I fitted two adjustable knuckle joints (see photos) allowing for correcting the camera orientation and it works well. I am now able to position the camera to virtually anywhere in my office (even if it means attaching extension arms).I mounted to a plasterboard wall which I already knew was dot & dab construction. I didn't use the supplied fixings but instead opted for the "Corefix" option which I had previously used and had some left over. The fixing is very strong and I believe it would support many Kg's even with the arm extended out. It would help if the instructions specifically stated what drill size to use, but it appears to just say 2mm less than the supplied fixings (which did not make sense).Overall I am quite impressed with the product which appears to be much better quality than I was expecting.NOTE: My photos include an additional arm clamped onto the boom which is NOT part of the kit.
