Are you tired of mini tripods that tip over at the slightest breeze? Look no further! SmallRig’s 9.8-inch adjustable clamp, aptly nicknamed the “Articulating Magic Arm,” is the ultimate solution for securing your small camera, smartphone, or action camera to capture the perfect shot.

For years, I relied on an Ulanzi clamp to attach my cameras and smartphones. However, one persistent issue haunted me: its length. Sometimes, it just wasn’t long enough.😕

Enter the SmallRig 9.8-inch adjustable ‘Articulating Magic Arm’ clamp — the clamp that combines length and strength like no other.💪

When it comes to clamps, stability is key. You want the clamp’s jaws to lock firmly in place and the arm to transition seamlessly from articulation to rock-solid stability. And guess what? This clamp delivers on both fronts!👌

With the right attachment, you can connect your smartphone or action camera to the clamp effortlessly.📲

Speaking of action cameras, I have to mention how perfect this clamp is for my GoPro Hero11 Black. Whether I’m capturing stunning timelapses or action-packed shots, the SmallRig ‘Articulating Magic Arm’ clamp proves to be the most versatile mount for my camera.🚀

But wait, there’s more! Let’s talk about the incredible wingnut.💡 Yes, that single wingnut right in the middle does all the magic. It locks the entire articulated arm in place, including the elbow, the joint at the clamp end, and the camera connection. Talk about convenience and efficiency!💪

Once you tighten that wingnut, you can rest easy knowing that everything stays exactly where you need it, with no drooping or sagging. The arm is super flexible, enabling you to frame your shots just the way you want them while maintaining stability.

And here’s the cherry on top: the SmallRig ‘Articulating Magic Arm’ clamp can handle a whopping 1.5kg payload. That means it’s not just limited to action cameras. Even a mirrorless camera like the Sony A7IV, weighing around 700g, can find a secure place on this arm.📸
