Impact Articulated Arm Reviews

Excellent, solid arm with a flaw.

I'll get right to the point. I like the arm, it's strong enough to hold my DSLR and work like a copy stand as well as a desk mounted camera support. But, the lug at the bottom end of the arm (which seems to be permanently affixed) is not identical to the standard brass lugs used in the industry, nor is it even identical to those manufactured/sold by the same company. The brass lug in the photo came with the Impact Superclamp I bought with this arm. It still works, and it's stable enough...But it'd be more stable and more secure if they changed this design, IMO. I took off the one star because of this. It'd be a 5/5 arm otherwise.

Strong steady support

We use these arms to support video cameras over woodturning demo lathe. The arms are strong, steady, and easy to adjust. It would be nice if they included a rotating adjustment perpendicular to the existing adjustment, but a ball head can be used to solve that issue.

How can I mount this unit to a table? Super Clamp won’t work. Need a permanent mount.

Asked by: Michael

If you purchase the Impact Wall Plate with 5/8" Locking Receiver, B&H # IMSRP123P • MFR #SRP-123P, and install it onto your table, then you should be able to install the Impact 3 Section Articulated Arm without Bracket on your table. https://bhpho.to/36YUojP

Can the camera bracket 'axle' point UP so that a camcorder can sit on TOP of it? The photos show the post which looks like the support for the bracket pointing DOWN such that the camera would have to hang upside down.

Asked by: Michael

Yes, the camera bracket 5/8 pin can sit on top. It moves 180 degrees. You can see the pivot on the arm in this photo, https://bit.ly/2WScxtK .

I’m considering this device to mount some PTZOptics cameras to a lighting truss. However it looks as though the knobs on the camera bracket extend above the surface of the camera bracket in such a way that they would impact the bottom of the camera and prevent mounting. Is this an illusion or would it be a problem?

Asked by: Peter

The knob does extend past the level of the plate. Depending on the size of the camera base you might have an issue. The other thing to consider is these are only rated to 3.3lbs.

How would this compare to the equivalent manfrotto one as far as stability and durability?

Asked by: Evan

Impact can take more payload and weighs less than the same Manfrotto version, however it could be said that the Manfrotto is built better or works smoother, your mileage may vary with that however. Stability/payload wise it seems Impact is the way to go.

Is it an option to have both end pins a 1/4" female thread?

Asked by: Jens

No, the Impact 3 Section Articulated Arm without Bracket only comes with a 1/4 female thread on one side and 3/8 inch thread on the other. There are adapters but it depends on what you are attaching to it. this is one adapter of many, https://bhpho.to/3PBdz9N.
