I have a full Redrock kit that i've spend good money on, and was really happy with it. then I thought would day. I should get my monitors of cold shoe ball points and get them on arms. so I thought I would pick up the micro arm short given the constancy of the brand that I was already happy with. with in 2 months the arm stopped holding tight with a light 5'' marshall monitor. reluctant to re reviews on a 50 part I could have saved the time, money, and the hassle of trying to come up with a monitor solution while on set. Don't buy this arm, move on to another manufacture.
This arm is versatile, but be sure not to loosen it too much. It can come apart and lose little pieces making it worthless. As long as you treat it with respect it will hold up vigorous use.
Simply stunningly bad product. We have two and have even gone as far as getting them custom welded in the weak places to avoid them going lose under the shoot. This micro arm has about five joints that go lose un-intentionally doing shooting. The main joint will hold, but all the others will not.
I have a DSLR package and I use this little baby to attach my Alesis Protrack to my tripod. Performs just fine for that.
Although the construction feels solid at first, I was never able to make the arm completely stiff. My monitor would sometimes suddenly fall forward or backwards during a recording, forcing me to hold it with my hand as well. It broke a month and a half after I bought it.
I'm looking to build up my kit and purchased an LCD monitor to go with my 7D and redrock shoulder rig. Simple and solid. Love it.
I used the Micro Arm to attach a small monitor to the camera. After using it a few times the connections started to come loose. After using it 5 times it fell apart.
These little guys are great. And they don't cost an arm and a leg. WARNING: Do not get the longer Micro Arm. Read the reviews on it, the construction is a big fail, which is a big surprise coming from a quality brand like Red Rock Micro. I now have two of these and they work perfectly. One does have to tighten the knob a lot in order to ensure a lock. The flexible articulation allows for adding lights, audio, monitors, etc. to an existing rail setup, while keeping everything compact, light, and maneuverable. I use one for my monitor, which I tend to move a lot when I'm shooting handheld. This arm allows me to have a tight hold, while being able to tilt my monitor as needed. I highly recommend these if you are building a monster freak rail set up like me.
