22" Magic Arm Clamp, Overhead Phone Mount Holder Stand, Flexible Desk Camera Mount, Articulating Friction Boom Arm, for POV Shot, Filming, Light, Webcam, Action Camera

The SMALLRIG 22" Magic Arm Clamp is a super versatile and sturdy setup for overhead shots and desk mounting. The arm is long and flexible, making it easy to position exactly where you need it, and it holds securely without slipping. Build quality feels solid thanks to the metal construction, and it works great for phones, lights, or small cameras. Just be mindful of the weight limit, but for most setups, it’s perfect. Great value for content creation or everyday use.

I have said it before, SmallRig makes amazing products. Many of them solve problems, and I always have problems to solve. It fits my desk perfect, easy to use and install, and holds the devices I install in it perfectly. It is light weight and durable. It does not move so the grip is solid and it does not leave marks, provided you do not over tighten, and you will not have to because it hold so well.

The length and adjustability of this holder is nearly perfect. I have been using this for about 6 months now to hold a small Canon video camera and it is so much better than the clumsy tripod I was using before which always was in the way. The three double joint articulation points and the design of the balls with a rubberized strip allows you to set any orientation you want with ease and then tighten to hold in position. I just clamp to a surface and loosen all three articulation points. It then can be aligned in any position and sequentially tightened to lock in. Once locked it holds firmly -- no droop or wobbling. Very impressed with this clamp and glad I got it. A quality item.

Pros: Very solid overall build quality. Once locked into place, it securely holds my iPhone 16 Pro Max with a Speck case and feels stable during use. Most of the assembly feels well-made and dependable. Cons: The phone holder itself is plastic, unlike the rest of the metal construction. It works fine, but it feels like the weakest part and may not hold up as well with frequent use. SmallRig does sell a metal replacement separately, which suggests this included holder is more of a basic option. Summary: A strong and stable mount with excellent performance, but long-term durability would be improved if the phone holder matched the rest of the build quality.

[Forewarning, I'm a yapper. This review may be long.] In short, this does what it says it will. If you need a mount with parts that can easily be removed and swapped out, a variety of ways you can adjust the structure to suit your needs, and supports adding entirely new parts, then get this. My only warning is that the phone clip can only hold a maximum of 4-inch-width devices, give or take. So if your device is bigger than that, id suggest looking for a separate clip you can replace the built-in one with. [Elaboration, if you care for it.] I haven't had a need for something like this until just recently, so I admittedly haven't had the most research or input into the best options as I have for other utilities. But considering the price compared to what I got, I by no means regret anything! The box's weight alone was pretty promising, and testing it out proves to be near perfect. I wouldn't call myself a Vtuber, but anyone here for that purpose should definitely consider this option for a mount. I have drawn and rigged a handful of models, although that's mainly for DnD sessions. It became immediately apparent that I needed somewhere I could put the camera I was using. While plastic isn't an ideal material, I'd give it a pass here. Some sockets, the covers, the handles to tighten the joints, and the phone holder itself are all made of plastic. Based on my using microphone boom arms (and moving them around excessively,) I believe the phone clamp is the only piece that might suffer from being plastic. I don't have a tape measure, but my guesstimate is that you have maybe three and a half, or four inches to work with in device width. My current phone needs to have the case removed to fit, which is what I was using to test it. But the device meant for the mount in the first place should fit just fine. The rubber grips have an "L" shape to them, which seems to really assist in keeping your phone steady, and they arent harsh enough to break anything. But even with my gripes in the phone clamp, it's not a big deal. Considering this piece can be removed and switched out at will with anything that has the same size screw or adapter. (Something I am regrettably not the right person for to measure.) With the included grip, you can attach the arm to the back, so it holds the phone in front. Or you can attach it to the end, so it holds the device on top. This piece can also rotate when needed. Additionally, you change out whether the arm is attached to the bottom or top of the desk clamp. In the case that you find the arm to be too long, or you have pieces that would fit as an extension, you can easily remove a pole and move it elsewhere, by unscrewing the joint as far as possible and popping the balljoint out, or popping a new one in. This includes the adapter that holds the phone grip onto the arm, in the case it requires a replacement. (Particularly relevant if you have a better grip you want to attach, which needs a different size to screw onto.) Considering the price, I am already quite happy with the value. On its own out of the box, it works perfectly. While I wish it could be manipulated easier, i am more than okay with sacrificing that for the stability it has. But on top of that, every piece can be replaced or swapped out with minimal trouble. It feels like it was designed to be something you keep forever, only swapping out single parts if something happens. I may not be a professional at determining what utilities are the absolute best. But at least in this instance, I was surprised. I was expecting a temporary tool I could replace later on if need be. But instead I got something reliable, sturdy, and meant to last forever. I realize this is a weird point to harp on, but it feels especially important to me. It doesnt feel like a product that was spat out for the sake of selling something. It feels like something you would have made for yourself, with the intent of future-proofing it. With some creativity and patience, I don't see myself ever throwing this out for any purpose.

I bought this because I use a real camera on my desk instead of a webcam. I connect my camera directly to my computer and record a lot of content. It’s kind of like a streaming setup, even though I’m not actually a streamer. I wanted something that would hold my camera right in front of me like a webcam, but also let me change angles when I wanted. This mount has been great. It’s very sturdy and built really well. The clamp is strong and adjusts easily to the desk. Once it’s tightened and positioned, it doesn’t move at all. If you intentionally tug on it, sure, you can make it shift a little, but during normal use there’s no shake and no drift. Setup was easier than I expected. At first you just have to get used to how the joints move, but once you understand that, adjusting it is simple. I mainly use it with my Sony camera, and being able to loosen the screw and dial in the exact angle I want is a big plus. I like it so much that I ended up buying two. I got my first one in August 2025 and another in January 2026. Instead of constantly unclamping and moving it around for different angles, I just added a second one to my desk. It’s slim, minimal, and doesn’t clutter my setup. It’s been perfect for content creation and for using my camera as a webcam. People constantly comment on how good the video looks, and a big part of that is having the camera held securely in the right position. I’ve tried propping cameras up in other ways before, and nothing was this stable or clean. Would I buy it again? Yes. I already bought two, and if I ever needed another one, I wouldn’t hesitate.

This is amazing! I purchased it because my wife had a stroke. She lost use of her right arm. This product allows me to mount her iPhone and use it hands free with one finger. It is excellent quality! Solid construction! The ball joints have a rubber O-ring and they hold extremely tight. It can be mounted on so many different objects and has unlimited unique adjustability. It even works very well mounted to a wheel chair frame. I have been very happy with this useful product!

This arm is easy to attach, though I wouldn't recommend trying to clamp it to a surface edge thicker than 1.5 inches. It can be set to various angles which is nice and adjusting it only involves loosening bolts and then tightening them back. The phone holder that came with the arm can hold many phone sizes, but if you have a larger phone such as a galaxy ultra model or iPhone pro/pro max, I'd recommend getting a separate phone holder. I used a phone holder made by another manufacturer and while it did support my phone, I had to really tighten the bolts so the arm wouldn't fall. It did hold my phone, but it would be better suited for smaller phones, action cameras, webcams, etc. The build quality is good enough, though the joints are plastic. Overall, it's not a bad product, but with improved joints and the capacity to clamp to thicker surfaces, it could be much better and more stable.

Produto incrível, muito bem construído. O suporte que vem para o celular parece bem frágil, recomendo o MA02 ou MA50 para celular com MagSafe.

Es un accesorio que se le puede dar bastante uso, sino hay que ser creativo con él. Todos sabemo la calidad de smallrig, así que no te va a decepcionar. Mi uso principal es para una cámara de acción y el móvil. Una vez aprietas los tornillos queda todo super fijo en la posición que quieras. La pinza me gusta que se pueda desmontar y usarla sola. También se le pueden mover las dos pestañas que tiene según dónde quieras fijarla, ya sea en tubos o en sitios planos. Apartarte para usarlo enganchándolo a cualquier sitio, también se puede usar a modo de palo selfie. Al final es un accesorio que tiene muchos usos y por ello es muy versátil. Una compra más que recomendable

Wykonany solidnie z metalu. Spełnia swoje zadanie.

Perfect hulpmiddel om dia's te digitaliseren. Ik doe het met de Nikon fotocamera. Hulpstuk aanwezig evt voor smartphone

Individual components are great quality, which contributes to a strong clamp force in all the joints, providing a really good, stable, and sturdy arm that stands the test of time. Can easily add additional components to extend or shorten the length. And the gaskets on the ball part of the joint reduce slipping and add stability when trying to make small adjustments. I’m really impressed with the design of this product.
