SmallRig Articulating Magic Arm with NATO Clamp 3875

A beginner-tier articulating magic arm with a NATO clamp, rated for a 12 lb load with 360-degree articulation. It's made for mounting field monitors to a cage NATO rail and positioning lights or recorders. A straightforward, versatile mounting accessory; the only real requirement is a NATO rail to clamp onto.

Verdict

Best for

  • Mounting field monitors to a cage NATO rail
  • Positioning lights or recorders
  • 12 lb load, 360-degree articulation

Who should skip this

  • Heavy monitor-plus-accessory loads — past the 12 lb rating the arm won't hold position
  • Rigs with no NATO rail — the NATO clamp needs that mounting surface to attach
