The Magic Arm from K&F Concept offers everything you'd expect from such an accessory — and even more. First of all, the high-quality workmanship stands out. The materials look durable and the copper-colored details typical of K&F also create an appealing look.

In use, the clamp is very strong, but due to its design, it is designed more for round bars. It is possible to clamp on flat objects such as table tops, but it cannot grip quite as firmly there. With a maximum opening of around 3.5 cm, it is ideal for lighting stands and can use its full holding power there. Accessories such as smaller lamps, smartphones, flashes or other equipment can be easily attached here. Even thinner rods, such as those from microphone stands, are no problem. At the bottom, it is possible to attach bars up to approximately 1.5 cm in diameter.

The clamp, which can be removed from the Magic Arm, offers not only a 1/4" thread but also a 3/8" thread, as used, for example, with microphone stands or larger camera accessories. As a result, the clamp can be used very universally.

A smartphone spring clip is also included. Personally, I prefer screw terminals, but the included bracket opens on both sides, unlike many other spring clips. As a result, the springs are less stressed on one side and the durability should be higher.

Conclusion: If you are looking for a versatile, sturdy clamp with a Magic Arm, this is a strong and durable companion.
