Sorry Manfrotto... I think SmallRig just took your place.

This is obviously a knockoff of the much loved but often maligned Manfrotto Magic Arm. And I have to say, I like the SmallRig better. It's like they looked at the Manfrotto, and saw a hundred different ways to subtly make the SmallRig better, for less money. I now own four of these SR units in my photo studio. My lighting and grip equipment all hangs from an overhead grid... changing the lights position was always a struggle with other types of arms and clamps... but with the SmallRig, it is five seconds of work to completely change the location and direction of a light, even if at extreme angles, and the SmallRig tightens perfectly, thanks to a toothed midpoint instead of a friction arm.... (thank you for that!). Special note to you photographers who use an overhead grid... make your own. The parts are easily available, and much less expensive than kits.... that said, use either square pipe or octagon pipe for your overheads that you will clamp to and need staying power. A 1.5" square aluminum tube, means that you no longer have to tighten the super clamp with superhuman hand strength to a round pipe, only to have the clamp spin and sag... a square pipe, with this Smallrig unit, is absolutely amazing for speed and accuracy. With the SmallRig super clamp on square pipe, I barely have to tighten the clamp at all... and with the SmallRig Magic Arm (with toothed main pivot point), I barely have to tighten the single large handle and the whole thing stays put, even with several pounds of equipment at the end.

An excellent arm

I bought this arm to support a small projector, weight about 3.5 pounds over my desk and it works perfect. Sturdy and well built, worth every penny!

Please recommend a compatible quick release plate to safely mount a mirrorless camera on this arm?

Manfrotto 323 RC2 System Quick Release Adapter with 200PL-14 Plate would be a compatible quick release system for the SmallRig Super Clamp with Magic Arm Kit. BH # MA323
