Desk Camera Mount Stand Heavy Duty Articulated Camera Arm Articulating Table Mount Stand Adjustable Flexible Gear Joints TKA01-L

This was the only one I could find with the length and options I needed because I wanted to connect to the side not the top. It is working and I've had it set up for six weeks, we even had a tropical storm with maybe 40 mph wind gust, and it hasn't budged. The poles are very sturdy metal. I wish they were 1 inch longer or if there was an option just to buy one longer pole. The metal poles are very heavy, and do contribute to some of the unsteadiness, because I have this attached horizontally rather than vertically. The joints are all plastic. I am pretty certain if you wanted to take this apart and move it a lot it would fail pretty fast. I tightened the knob at the mount as much as I thought I could without cracking it. It really wants to spin to the left but since I don't touch it at all it has stayed. The other two joints in the middle are like gears so you do not have a high degree of custom positions, it's approximately a quarter inch for each turn. It took a lot for me to get the shoe off to mount it on the side instead, they give you an Allen wrench and I ended up laying it on the floor and stepping on the wrench with my foot because it was screwed on so tight. I had a very specific and unique situation and this worked so I'm giving it five stars. I also thought it was a very fair price. If you need to mount something and leave it there, I highly recommend this. It would also work well if you only have to turn it where the bar connects to the clamp in a vertical situation. I do wish it came in white but maybe I will paint it one day. Note that the piece on the top where I have the ring outdoor cam attached is something I already had (repurposed selfie stick camera holder), it did not come with this. This came with a ball joint attachment that I did not use.

The TARION Top Tripod Camera Desk Mount is basically a skyscraper for your camera, clamped right onto your desk. I needed an overhead rig for unboxings and top-down shots, and this beast delivered exactly what I hoped. The construction feels solid enough to survive a mild earthquake, with sturdy metal tubing and robust clamps that grip your desk tighter than a toddler clings to a juice box. Adjusting height and angle is straightforward, and there’s no annoying wobble even with a mirrorless camera up top. At 36 inches of vertical reach, you can get that perfect bird’s-eye view without turning your workspace into a spaghetti mess of light stands and tripods. Plus, the included extension arm means you can position your camera exactly where you need it, leaving plenty of room for lighting or a second monitor. Pros: ✔️ Rock-solid build ✔️ Strong clamp with no desk damage ✔️ Great vertical range for overhead shots ✔️ Easy assembly and adjustments Cons: ➖ Slightly bulky if you’re in a tiny workspace Overall, if you want to level up your desk studio with stable, no-drama overhead shots, the TARION Desk Mount is the best metal giraffe money can buy. Highly recommended for any content creator.

I purchased this camera arm specifically to get top-down video, for this it works very well. I am able to mount my Panasonic Lumix G9 to the mount just fine, there's a very small amount of sag, but it's not really a problem. The construction is advertised as mostly steel, though steel comes in many different types for varied use cases, they don't list the type of steel used. The screws used to tighten down the different clamps and lock the arm in position are capped with a plastic end so you can hand tighten them. The steel used is not magnetic which did ruin a plan I had for routing cables using magnetic hooks. You can adjust the arm to fit whatever need you have, though adjusting it is not a very smooth process as the movement is pretty stiff. There are 7 adjustment points, 6 of which are grouped in sets of 2 so 1 screw loosens the hold on both adjustment points. The grouping of adjustment points means that it's hard to get precise movement when adjusting a single section. This problem is coupled with some limitations in the design where you have to rotate the sections to different positions for certain axis movements. This arm works well holding your camera in place but if you need something to move your camera around a lot, this is not it. If you're looking for something you plan on setting in one position and only occasionally moving, this will work just fine. Overall, I'm happy with the mount for my use case, but I'd only recommend purchasing if you need something you plan on keeping fairly stationary. It feels solid and supports my camera well, but easier adjustment would be nice.

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!

I wish the joint system was different on this. It's this weird disk and clamp system and it's just very clunky to adjust. It coulda been made to be way easier to adjust. It is sturdy, although it doesn't feel like it will be. I've used it for my phone and Sony ZV1. It's all metal, which is nice. Feels of decent quality. I think it's a little overpriced honestly. But it'll do for now. Could have been made to be easier to use - bottom line.

I recently bought the TARION Desk Camera Mount Stand for my streaming setup, and I have to say, it has completely exceeded my expectations. I use a heavy mirrorless DSLR with a lens, which can sometimes be a challenge when finding a mount that can support the weight without wobbling or compromising stability. This stand does an outstanding job in that department. One of the standout features is how adjustable the mount is. Whether I’m aiming for a high-angle shot, low-angle close-up, or something in between, I can easily tweak the positioning to suit my needs. The versatility here is a game-changer for content creators, as you can find that perfect angle every time. Another impressive aspect is its sturdiness. The build quality feels solid, and the stand is made from materials that don't feel cheap at all. No flimsy plastic or questionable joints—just a well-constructed piece of equipment that can handle the weight of my camera without even flinching. It’s clear that TARION didn’t cut corners with this one. Unlike some other camera stands that might use lightweight parts that don’t inspire confidence, this one feels premium and built to last. It's perfect for streamers, photographers, and anyone who needs a reliable, heavy-duty mount for their camera. Overall, if you’re looking for a quality camera stand that’s both adjustable and sturdy enough for a heavier DSLR setup, the TARION Desk Camera Mount Stand is definitely worth considering. It’s an investment that will likely serve you well for years to come.

I recently made this purchase to assist me in my stop motion animation work. I was looking forward to using the mount when it came, but there were already red flags from the moment I opened the box. First off, there were parts of the Mount already assembled- the first two steps of the instructions tell you to slide the articulating arm joint into the base plate and then to tighten the pieces together with a hexagon screw and a screw driver which are meant to be included in the packaging. However, the pieces were already assembled in the plastic when I had opened the box. In the moment I hadn’t thought much about it, but in hindsight, I was probably sent a used product when I had paid full for a brand new one. After I finished assembling the rest of the stand, I tried attaching my new Canon rebel T100 to the top of it to test how stable it was. Everything seemed fine, until it came time to detach my camera when I was done. The screw broke out of it and now it’s stuck inside the camera body. So far, I haven’t been able to come to a solution for how to take the piece out of my camera. It’s in too tight for pliers to remove, and through the past three hours I’ve spent trying to take it out, the only thing that’s gotten looser is my will to live. Despite it all, I am writing this review to warn others like myself four days ago, joyous and full of wonder, to take a second and reconsider their life choices. In short, unless you truly hate yourself and your camera, do not buy this product.

This desk/drawing table mount for my camera is a great value for my purposes - it was easy to set up, gives me great flexibility in angling my camera for the video angles I want, and compared to the old scissor arm desk mount, the design is super sturdy and adjusts really easily. I am using a dslr and I added a fairly heavy ball head with quick release instead of the manual ball head that comes with it, and there is no problem with it's functionality with the extra weight - it could definitely take more.
