SMALLRIG 9.8-inch articulating magic arm for monitors 📷
Reviews
Product description
This adjustable articulating arm from SMALLRIG lets you position a field monitor or LED light with precision, improving framing and lighting during shoots. Its compact 9.8 inch reach and simple butterfly screw make setup quick, and it supports smaller accessories up to the specified load for steady on-camera work.
Key Points
The arm features a ball joint that allows multi-angle orientation of monitors and lights, so you can tilt and swivel to match camera movement. A rubberised pad on the 1/4 inch mounting screw helps prevent scratches and increases grip when attaching sensitive equipment, which is useful on location. The single butterfly tightening screw makes it easy to lock positions fast with one hand. Note that the manufacturer states a maximum load capacity of 1.5 kg, so it is best paired with lightweight monitors and compact LED lights. 📷
For users who need flexibility in rig configurations, the arm has a 1/4 inch-20 thread at both ends which allows connection to a wide range of mounts and accessories. The design is straightforward, which makes it a practical choice for run-and-gun setups and small studio rigs alike. ⚙️
Usage Recommendations
Attach the arm to a cage, clamp or stand using the 1/4 inch thread and then mount your monitor or torch on the opposite end. Tighten the butterfly screw firmly to reduce unwanted movement during takes, but avoid over-torquing which could stress the joint. When swapping heavier monitors, check that total weight stays within the load limit indicated by the manufacturer. For tighter spaces consider a shorter arm option from the same range if reach is a concern. 🔧
The rubber pad will help protect finishes, so it is helpful when shifting equipment between mounts frequently. In practice, combining this arm with a lightweight articulating clamp or a cold shoe adapter keeps the whole assembly compact and manageable during handheld shoots.
