The quality of this is excellent. Once tightened up it basically doesn’t move until you undo it again. It’s rock steady, feels excellent quality and does exactly what I wanted it to do. No complaints from me!
Everything about this clamp screams high quality. It’s a perfect design and implementation without any unnecessary extras, e.g. fancy packaging.
The clamp jaws open and close smoothly via an easy to use thumb screw – the jaws are threaded on both sides so turning the screw rapidly opens and closes the jaws making it quick to attach/detach the clamp. The jaws have small rough rubber pads on them to ensure a solid grip.
At the other end you have a standard cold shoe fitted into a ball head. A single thumb screw allows rotation of the entire ball head assembly and rotation/tilt of the ball head within the socket so it’s very quick to set the camera into position.
It’s professional level equipment that just works. Highly recommended.
The K&F Concept MS27 Magic Arm is a versatile tool for photographers and videographers. Equipped with a cold shoe mount and 1/4-inch screw, this mini magic arm is perfect for attaching accessories like lights, monitors, or microphones to your camera setup. The adjustable design allows for flexible positioning, giving you more control over your gear placement. Despite its compact size, it feels sturdy and holds accessories securely. Ideal for those looking for a compact, reliable solution to expand their camera rig’s capabilities.
This K&F Concept clamp is a rock solid, sturdy, reliable clamp that offers a new level of versatility to your photography or videography.
The clamp itself is so well made, you know it will last you a lifetime. It’s feels well machined and designed and feels unbreakable.
You can attach the clamp simply and easily no problems and once on it’s going nowhere which is what you need if you’re putting your expensive cameras onto it.
Once clamped on you can use the ball-head to get that precise aim for where you want to shoot and the ballhead is another well designed aspect of the clamp, and again feels rock solid.
I have full confidence in this clamp which is something I couldn’t say about others that I’ve tried before where the screw mechanism would fail or the clamp would loosen, putting my cameras in danger. This one from K&F Concept is clearly way better and not going to do that
So far I’ve tested it with my Sony mirrorless camera and my GoPro, and also my Insta360 360 camera and can report all work just fine
K&F Concept make some quality products and this is another example of how great their stuff is
I can definitely recommend this clamp to anyone looking for one
Price at time of review was 20, which gets you the MS27 Magic Arm with Cold Shoe and 1/4 Inch Screw. This item is beautifully made and finished, it locks very firmly with a half-twist of the orange thumb lever. There’s rubber rings around the ball heads which helps avoid ‘creep’ due to the weight of a field monitor etc.
There’s ample flexibility to adjust the cold shoe and 1/4″ screw, each end can be independently rotated and tilted. I can see this being used to hold Camera Field Monitor or LED panel.
All in all, if you can get for 20 or less I’d recommend.
I use this to attach one of my larger field monitors to an FX3 rig using a cold shoulder mount on the handle, it may be simple but it works perfectly.
Of course, there are probably a million other uses for it that I haven’t explored yet but for this one thing alone it was worth ordering!
This magic arm certainly has many practical uses and is much smaller than I imagined it would be. I’ve put it to test across a few of those. It assembles easily and you can hold items up to 1.5kg attached to it. The clamp is a strong attachment to any flat surface such as a desk or cupboard door or just about anything else and holds anything from camera to monitors from the other ends of it. The grip is very strong but it’s worth noting it needs to be an attachment which has the screw mount hole as it holds it by this (which covers most photography purposes at least but means phones are out of the option list)! It’s a very versatile accessory to have about the place so definitely extends the range of angles to make things happen from thanks to the strong arms and directions that can be created from them. I think it’s not the cheapest item ever but if you’re getting this for a specific purpose it’s well worth the investment as a quality product.
Used to attach a 1kg+ prosumer video camera upside down for an awkward shot for over 5 hours of recording. Worked perfectly. Articulation was excellent and the lockout knobs do their job perfectly. The jaws have a really cool overdrive feature (don’t think this is mentioned in the product info) where one turn of the knob very quickly closes or opens the clamp so you don’t find yourself seemingly endlessly twisting the knob to articulate the jaws. It also means that the clamping force onto the material you are attaching this to can be achieved easily.
Well made , sturdy and perfect for the job I wanted it for – fitting a Canon M6 to a window ledge for long exposures. My only criticism is there are no instructions with it explaining how to attach the fittings for Go Pros and mobile phones. I won’t be using them so not a problem for me but if you get it for these purposes you might struggle to work out how to use the attachments.
K&F Concept Magic Arm with Super Clamp – very light, good quality, works perfectly with light cameras.
I needed one to use with my insta 360 x3 and it works well, until you use an extendable stick, the ball bearings slightly move from the road vibrations while cycling.
The grip is good but in my opinion it needs a bit more rubber inside the clamp to prevent scratching my handlebar.
It is easy to use and it fits well, made of aviation metal.
Fab bit of kit to compliment the K&F concept tripod. I use a remote shutter most times I shoot. And this is great for holding my phone like a separate viewing screen . Well built and looks really cool . I would highly recommend
I recently bought one of these magic arm, it is so useful, I have used it to hold a monitor in place for a focus puller on my camera and also, I have used it in conjunction with super clamp to hold a gopro on a boat while I was filming during a storm.
Both items are of really high quality, as well as being really easy to use.
I would highly recommend either of these products.
