Super nice product!
Only knock is the middle adjustment handle did crack but it was an easy fix for me. Other than that great product

breaks easy, do not buy
I wish I could say this worked well. I really wish I could. I love the versatility of the angles and the different joints so you can just get that perfect angle and easy flexibility if you want to change it up or move it someplace else. But the darn thing just keeps breaking. I actually bought this twice and forgot to return the first one but those little twists that tighten up the joints just crack so easily even with no weight on them. It's just ****** plastic and I really really wish they had made the peace is more sturdy because I honestly love this but it's just not worth it if it keeps breaking

A terriffic value!
Okay, I don't know that I'd trust this to support a full-sized DSLR, but it is perfect for my purposes. I use it to lock down my smartphoone (using an inexpensive phone holder with a tripod screw hole) or my trusty ol' Canon SX50 HS. It works great for these and is outstandingly versatile. The provided pieces can be arranged in a mind-blowing array of combinations. Setup is quick and easy, and while it may not replace a well made tripod, it is lightweight and easy to carry. In short, I love it!

Its ok!
The nuts are made of plastic and mine cracked. Do not screw to tight. If you are going to use this in a tree stand it will get in your way if you are using a cross bow. It probably is just fine for a rifle. I found myself having to fix the arm so I was below my sight line of the Crossbow. I will be buying a new holder that attaches to the tree and has longer arms. I want to be able to pull the camera into and out of ones way.

Not as strong as it looks.
This feels like it should be stronger than it actually is. I have only used it to hold an iPhone nothing heavy but it does not seem to be able to get tight enough to stay put without falling over. I would be in the middle of filming something and then all of a sudden it would just start to fall, it’s unfortunate because when it came I thought it would work great. I would not recommend this to anyone trying to film anything overhead.

Perfect for holding webcam to monitor stand pole.
The clamp works on a 35mm pole. The magic arm itself is incredibly versatile. I use it to keep my video conferencing camera centered between two monitors. The camera is rock steady and adjustment is a piece of cake.

Not a good value
First day of use the clamp "T" handle broke off due to MY extruding force in-order to try to get it to hold without moving on my tri-pod. There is enough of the threaded bolt that allowed me to tighten it more with a set of vice grips.It is only supporting a 9 inch field monitor. 2LBIt required a LOT of force to be applied to the center "T" knob and still will not support the monitor in any position but strait up and down . Any extension away from vertical and it falls.I have had to zip tie the upper arm area below the monitor , to the tri-pod leg just to be usable .Defiantly NOT recommended for supporting ANYTHING of value . LIGHT WEIGHT ONLY !

Cheap! Broke on first use!
Do not waste your money! The clamp pads came off the second i clamped it to a stand holding a 1lb mike. Then the "stopper" ( black piece that screws down to keep the clamp tight) cracked and will not keep anything tight. Very dissatisfied!

Useful
I have four of these now and they are great for lights and holding backgrounds but anything other than a small mirrorless SLR would struggle

Simple mechanism and well built
Good little stand for a camera. Could do with a slip of paper with instructions or even having them on the box, as it's not too clear at first that to stop the ball joints wiggling you need to tighten up the central screw further.

OK value for the money, not very sturdy and hard to adjust.
Pros:- For its current price, it's decent, but I wouldn't pay more than this.- Once you have a good fit, it stays on pretty securely.- Tough enough to hold a 4-5lbs camera + lens if it's right on top of the arm.Cons:- Hard to adjust. There's only 1 adjustment screw that controls the whole thing, so if you want to adjust the ball, you have to unsecured the rest of the arm, so it doesn't allow for fine tuning your setup.- Once your camera is on there, it's really on there. The only way to take it off is to twist the whole camera since the joints are connected to the one adjustment screw. If you start fidgeting with the camera, however, it'll mess up your setup unless you're super careful. So most of the time you're stuck uninstalling the whole thing if you want to take the camera off.- Not sturdy enough for lateral holds. If you want to pivot your camera slightly off the vertical setting on the 360 ball, it'll most likely fall off even after screwing hard.- The clamp has *extremely* cheap glue attaching the rubber on it. It slides off constantly and doesn't stick to the monitor arm securely even after tightening it hard.

So So
It works for my use but I would not use it otherwise.It's super clunky, not easy to adjust without loosening up the other joints, then they all move as the main knob tightens all the points of articulation.When you loosen it to adjust it you end up having other points move you didn't want.When I go to tighten it onto the railing I put it on its always a hassle.You have to put the camera on it first then attach it to whatever and that also makes it hard and clunky as a camera makes it top heavy.I wish it had a shoe so you could mount it and take the camera off without taking it completely down.The rubber inside the clamp is low quality and comes off right away reducing the clamping ability.It works but it's annoying and I could not find something else that would work in its place.I would not trust it BC it loosens up If you have it in a place where there might be vibrations, like railroad tracks.

Fits onto Mobility Scooter Delta Tiller.
I usually use a 1" Cube Camera for my scooter trips, but I recently bought a Go-Pro lookalike that looks as sturdy as my 'Go-Pro Hero' (older one, obviously). The new one is, of course, heavier than the 1" cube camera, but about the same weight as the Go-Pro.I love the versatility, and do have plans to purchase more for other areas of my scooter, but I did find one issue with the base of the arm, right where it screws into the clamp housing.The "ball" portion of the base-swivel does not seem to want to lock up (tightly!) with the other joints, so what happens is that while I'm moving, and hit a bump, the camera skitters to a different POV, and I have to manually re-point it again.I have tried several ideas to see if I can get that particular ball/joint to lock up properly, but no success.I do also own the small version of this Arm, and have absolutely NO problem with it at all!Perhaps I have a Friday joint...I will try playing around with it to see. Otherwise, I am quite happy with the hardware overall. I have already recommended it to some bikers I met on the trails.
