I often have wanted to support Kondor Blue and its products because it is an American company. This product is great and would've gotten five stars from me if it wasn't for the price point. Smallrigs Magic Arm is very similar in quality and the price is 1/3. So for the price point, it's worth the four stars for me personally. If I could do it again I would've bought Smallrig.
I like Kondor Blue and have full rigs from them for two cameras. They're great. They work well, are easy to assemble, and are relatively sturdy for a budget rig. But these arms don't hold up. The screw that mounts them to the camera cages comes loose and will stay lodged in the cage. I can remove them with pliers but they'll just get stuck again the next time. I thought maybe the first one was a fluke but this one did the same thing the second time I used it. It's a shame because functionally I really like the design of these. They're simple and easy to use. Sadly, they're just poorly made.
