Proaim P-DMC Reviews

Junk

By Derek
Rated 1 out of 5

Absolutely is not compatible with 7 monitor, impossible to mount to my 7 SMALLHD 702. Too many screws to be durable for long term use, guaranteed it will loosen and constantly need to be tightened. No instructions with the box had to find instructions online that were non sensical. Do not buy.

Not quite right

I was really hoping this would be a good catch-all solution to hold a 7 Feelworld monitor along with my Hollyland Mars 400s wireless receiver and batteries, but the battery plate doesn't seat deep enough to clear the monitor, battery and hardware so I've had to modify it heavily and completely remove the back plate. Also, the bolts holding the handles together easily come unscrewed from just regular use, so the handle either falls off, or doesn't hold its structure so it flops around. It's good enough for entry level, but I wouldn't buy this again if I had the choice.
