Dinkum Systems ActionPod Reviews

Does Exactly What It Claims

By J.L. Kell
Rated 5 out of 5

These are great! The clamp is has a very strong spring, the segments are sturdy and hold position very well, and the 1/4-20 stud means it can hold all kinds of things. Great for holding a phone, small camera, microphone, or light. I added two DI3099 link segment packs and a Lume cube mini for easy lighting that barely takes seconds to reposition between shots.

Sturdy for Stationary Mounting and Very Strong Clamp

By Jaan

As others have noted, the clamp is strong and may be difficult for some folks to open fully. I can get it to max opening with my dominant hand with a bit of focus but struggle with my other hand. I am confident it'll stay put if I'm mounting a strobe or phone on a stationary item but I don't imagine I'd mount on anything that shakes (motorcycle, car, bike, etc.) as the articulating arm transfers vibration very efficiently. Articulating the item is a noisy affair as the plastic components are very-snugly fitted. Things stay put once you wrenched them into place. I removed 1 start because I feel the articulating arm needs 1 or 2 more nodes of articulation - I can manage without them, however. Also: I did accidentally pull off the top node (with the thread) but was able to pop it back on without too much struggle. It remains snug.

Anyone used this with a small action cam mounted on a moving car? Wondering how much video shake I would get. (Arm will be aligned vertically, not laterally.)
Asked by: Scott
As the arm would likely add vibration to the camera, we would recommend the GoPro Suction Cup Mount for best results, but in either case, you would likely need to use in camera stabilization or to stabilize the footage in editing. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/999131-REG/gopro_aucmt_302_suction_cup_mount.html

question

Does the gooseneck unscrew from the clamp? It appears that it might. I only need the gooseneck but it has to have a 1/4 -20 male on one end and a 1/4 -20 female on the other.

question

How tightly would this grip the crossbar of Something like a Ronin-M? Id like to attach a monitor or Atomos Shogun and be able to quickly/easily adjust its viewing angle. Will it stay firmly attached and not slip?
Asked by: Jon
It should grip well, but it can take a little effort to get it positioned correctly. Once it is, though, it holds its position well

question

Can you pan with this without affecting up and down position?
Asked by: James
No you can't pan. And if you try, it will not be smooth at all. I use it for mounting my go pro pretty much anywhere. With an adapter and you can clamp your go pro.

question

does the clamp open enough to grab a door?
Asked by: Anonymous
Probably not, only if the door is thin. I just measured it, it opens up to 4cm wide, and it can't grab and of my doors at home. I use it to grab my baby's crib, to hold an IP camera. I took a photo of it open wide, but I see I can't upload it here.
