Pros & Cons
Pros
Great rig, only thing is that the shoe that slides into the rails will not work on some models of kayak rails. Been used a dozen times as a monitor mount for my tripod. One end will go into my smallrig clamp, while the other will accept a camera/video... Read More
It's made well, finished nicely, operates smoothly, and locks up solid. Extremely sturdy and holds up a 24 inch monitor. The teeth along the rotation axis are very handy.
The single knob makes them easy to adjust. It gets very tight and the connections seem stronger than the price would indicate. Cranks down tight & keeps things where you want them.
This feels a little on the heavier side, compared to some of the other, inexpensive articulating arms. The only drawback is how thin the arms are.
Cons
It's now completely useless. Not my first but my last.

Used to mount an additional small monitor onto a manfrotto 502ah fluid tripod head also needed a camvate 38 to 14 adapter but perfect
I dont think id use this even for a camera as relativelylight as a dlsr though
In fact if looking for a different size id look at the camvate brand first
