Mouting Clamp

Summary: There is a reason that DigitalFoto have numerous products with 5 star Amazon reviews and that reason is on full display with this clamp & arm combo.From the start I was very impressed with the build quality of this combo. It is made from thick machined aluminum. No plastic parts here. There are no burs or other imperfections in areas like the screws or mounting holes which is quite common with this type of gear. Everything about this setup screams high quality and honestly incredible value for my money.The big highlight of this setup is the strength of the articulating arm. Most arms like this in the under $100 range claim to hold several pounds. However even if you put something like a small field monitor monitor with battery inevitably the arm will start to bend down. This is NOT the case with this arm. It arm is incredibly strong and sturdy. I have mounted everything from a AD200 strobe with reflector, 7” field monitor with the largest battery available and even my mirrorless camera in a camera cage with the VERY heavy Canon 16-35L lens (this lens weighs 1.4 lbs by itself!) and the arm didn’t move an inch. Just look at the pictures on this review for proof. I believe they achieve this kind of rigidity with 3 things. First of course is the solid allow aluminum build. Second is the strong handle which enables you to crank down very hard without causing any bend or damage to the material. Third are the rubber grommets that surround the balls within the arm that provides more surface area to lock it down. The only similar kit I found that provided the same kind of strength and security was the Manfrotto 244MicroKit which will cost you a little over $100.This setup is full of nice touches and I very much appreciate the attention to detail on display with this gear. The clamp has rubber pads on the top and bottom of the clamp which will help protect whatever you are attaching it to. Much to my wife’s dismay I attached the clamp to our dining room table as a test and cranked it down quite a bit. After removing the clamp there was no damage whatsoever to the finish of the table and thus did not have to sleep on the couch that night. The clamp opens more than wide enough to attach to any table I’ve ever encountered. The clamp also has ¼ and ⅜ mounting holes all over it giving you a huge range of options to where you can attach devices to it. Speaking of those mounting points, built in the handle of the arm are 2 screw adapter shrouds that you can remove and use to change the mounting holes from ¼ to ⅜. I love how these little adapters are housed within the handle so I don’t have to worry about ever losing them within a deep camera bag.Stop wasting money on cheap clamps and articulating arms that either break after several uses or are only strong enough to hold something like a GoPro. DigitalFoto doesn’t make low quality gear and it shows in this product combo. I am continually impressed by all the products I have used from them. All of their gear from clamps and articulating arms like this to their gimbal mounts and handles are high quality and would be more than willing to recommend them over similar but more expensive gear from manufacturers like Manfrotto and Wooden. I happily give this a 5 star review and my highest recommendation.

This articulating head and clamp combo is not only one of the best purchases I have made in a long time, but it’s also incredibly affordable for what it is. The quality is definitely all there, but I feel like this is a legit value.The table clamp is rock solid and hasn’t left any sort of marks on any surface I have used it on (thanks to the thick latex-rubber layers). It works really well on tables, but there is also an indentation that makes it easy to clamp onto a light stand or c-stand and hold its position very well. The multiple 1/4-20 mounting options are a huge plus. You can mount this in virtually any orientation and still have a thread in the direction you need.The articulating arm is surprisingly tiny and light, but really powerful. I mean that it can hold a pretty hefty amount of weight without sagging. The thumb screws works great vs having to twist the whole thing (or your camera) into place like other articulating arms. In the handle are 1/4-20 to 3/8” adapters, which is a cool bonus.Together, these two pieces can mount just about anything anywhere. I have used it to hold my audio recorder on a boom stand and for clamping a microphone to a table. You could mount any reasonable sized camera just about anywhere too. I can see getting creative and mounting onto things like a bike or a tall bookshelf for some interesting camera perspectives.100% worth every penny for this combo and I haven’t found any downsides given the price point. As a combo, I can’t see many limits on what to mount and where to mount it. Everything is rock solid too. These pieces can obviously be used on there own too and that only adds to the value.I would absolutely buy this again and just might pick up a second set.

This clamp is really high quality. Extremely solid build, with metal all throughout - no flimsy plastic pieces here. Even the magic arm is metal, and when tightened down, can easily hold anything you can fit on it. The knurling on the thumbscrews is a really nice touch, as it lets you get that extra bit of tension on them.The C clamp's screw is well cut, as it rotates smoothly, but also locks into place well. The rubber buffer piece is a nice touch, and is easily removable when you need that extra grip or don't have to worry about the surface.I've already tried mounting numerous pieces of kit to different surfaces, and I'm very impressed with how well it holds. There's a variety of mounting holes on the clamp itself. Combining those with the magic arm gives a huge range of possible positions. Definitely a must-have in any bag!

I will admit I thought this unit was a bit smaller when I purchased it but to my pleasant surprise this unit had size, huffy and the build quality is outstanding. I pretty much am comfortable mounting my Sony mirrorless body and a smaller lens which . The amount of mounting holes is a great bonus for extremely added versatility. This for sure is a grip product to keep in every bag...doesn't matter camera, led light, mic, digital recorder everything I've thought of and little problem it's come in handy to solve. I'll be buying more for sure!!! Once again "THE QUALITY" it's worth every penny!!!

Very happy with this clamp and articulating arm. It is worth the money for the articulating arm alone which is twice the price at competitors.The clamp has mounting points on all sides. The clamp may not open wide enough to fit thicker tables, but this allows it to be compact.As pictured, the articulating arm part is very strong and will hold a monitor+cage at 180 degrees and 90 degrees indefinitely.
