TARION Overhead Tripod Camera Desk Mount 360° Flexible Articulating Arm with 3/8'' Screw and 3/8'' to 1/4'' Screw for DSLR Cameras Projector Ring Light (L),Black

I bought two of these desk-mount camera holders before I bought this one. The thing is I have a very limited amount of space. I have 3 monitors that I use on my computer. two of which are 27" displays, and one is a 32" display. Back when I only had the two 27" displays, I was able to use a gorilla pod and i had it just sitting on the desk to the right of my monitor. But when I upgraded to the 32", the camera was overlapping a lot of my screen. I moved the other 27" monitor to a desk-mounted arm that essentially has it floating off the table. But there was no room for the camera without blocking my screen. I tried a few different mounts that advertised being sturdy and being able to hold more than the weight I needed. but they all failed in one way or another. Either they wouldn't actually hold the advertised weight, or they would just shake a lot from just typing on my computer. Or they wouldn't be able to adjust to the exact height, angle, and area that I wanted it to be. When I bought this one, I was skeptical because of the price. but after setting it up and seeing how it works, I am totally a fan! because of the design of the elbows, its able to rotate and tilt in almost any direction imaginable. I was able to bring it down low and turn it to fit into the super awkward gap between the two monitors that I have. In fact, now with this device, I can scoot the screens closer together and just leave the lens of my DSLR camera peaking through. The best part is, even if i purposely shake my desk, it doesn't move much, so it seems very sturdy. even tapping on it with a little pressure doesn't make it sag or move around or anything. which I think is perfect! The other ones i had would sag if bumped. This one, once tightened, doesn't sag at all! It did come with a small ball head that would work well. But I wanted more adjustments and the ability of using a quick release, so I used an old ball head from Neewer that I don't use. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase!

Easy to assemble and really sturdy. The joints lock in rock solid and it gives the impression of being able to handle much more weight than what I have connected to it.

Ho acquistato questo braccio articolato TARION per avere un supporto da tavolo versatile per fotocamera e accessori. La costruzione è solida e dà subito una sensazione di stabilità: il morsetto si aggancia bene al piano e non si muove, anche con attrezzatura non leggerissima. Il braccio offre una buona escursione e tiene la posizione senza cedimenti, caratteristica importante soprattutto per riprese top-down, webcam professionali e microfoni. Il sistema di regolazione è fluido e permette di trovare rapidamente l’angolo di lavoro. Il fatto che sia inclusa la filettatura da 3/8” a 1/4” lo rende compatibile con la maggior parte delle fotocamere, luci e accessori da content creation. Non è leggerissimo, ma questo contribuisce alla stabilità generale. Per set-up molto pesati serve comunque verificare bene il serraggio, ma per DSLR leggere, mirrorless, smartphone, luci o microfoni è più che sufficiente. Pro • Struttura solida e stabile • Morsetto da tavolo molto robusto • Buona regolazione e tenuta della posizione • Filettatura adattatore inclusa Contro • Non il più leggero (ma è un vantaggio per la stabilità) • Va serrato bene con setup pesanti In sintesi: supporto affidabile, ben costruito e versatile. Perfetto per chi crea contenuti da scrivania e vuole un sistema stabile che si regola velocemente.

Using this for an old DSLR to do a top down view of my workbench. Works pretty well and is very stable. Probably getting another one.

Well made camera mount. Had to return it. Just a little too large for my needs.
