Review: If you're thinking about getting it, just get it. - I used this for an automotive rig setup. I was a bit hesitant at first due to the price, but went ahead and ordered it anyway. I'm happy I did, as it is a versatile, well built piece of equipment that will last a good while. It is well worth the price, in my opinion.
Review: Well Made, Stays Where You Want To - The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because it isn't quite long enough for what I needed, and you have to have the Super Clamp if you want to use it on anything other than a tripod. I use it on the edge of my desk, with the super clamp, and it does not move, it stays exactly where I put it, even with my Nikon D810, heavy lens, and other devices (Camranger, etc). I wanted to use this to shoot directly overhead but its not long enough for that. Do what I did not do, use a measuring tape to make sure this will be long enough for you. If it is, yea, its a great product.

### ⭐⭐ Buyer beware
*by A***N on November 8, 2015*

You can't remove the tripod plate from the magic arm; so, therefore, you always have to have a camera attached to one end of the device.
