Neewer Extension Grip Arm Boom Arm with 2 Pieces Grip Heads - 40 inches/101.6 centimeters Aluminum Alloy Construction for Light Stand,Reflector and Other Equipment for Studio Video Photography(Silver)

This thing is tough, feels like solid steel and the grip heads are steel not plastic. You will not be snapping off the bolts or breaking these grip heads. I would definitely feel safe putting my lights and softboxes on this boom arm. Please note this is a solid piece of steel and is not an adjustable boom arm. It does not have a place for a counter balance but with screws on both ends easy to rig something up. A great arm would highly recommend and will be buying another one soon as they get back in stock.

This is one of the most expensive grip and boom arm extension compared to other boom arms on the market, but it definitely worth it. I use it to attach to an existing light stand, and then mount a monolight for product photography. Everything looks good and works well.

The product itself is awesome, and more because of the price, I really think to buy another one again, soon. Although, it comes with 2 grip heads, and at least for me, one of them was stuck and didn't move, after dealing with the stuck part, I realize, it was because of a screw that was bend in the middle, so it doesn't really close equally, probably will do have issues if put to much weight or trying to put a piece of flat board on it, not sure, the sad part is that I bought this when I was on the US and now I am not, so I can't return the piece or exchange. So just be careful to check everything works just fine. Good product, though.

I was able to easily connect it to my old c-stand.

Not sure what you're looking for. It is well built and feels sturdy. But it may be too heavy for some tripods, light stands. It is solid steel and feels like its filled, not hollow. So if you're planning on using for top down photography/videos, make sure you use a weight or have balanced properly.

I have a very nice tripod, which is a gift from my father. Occasionally, I found this magical arm that can be mounted on the main pole of the tripod. This saves the money to buy another C-stand, and I am currently in a tight period... This clip arm has two collets to ensure that it does not fall. And there is no problem with using it to hold the studio lights and umbrellas. Highly recommended.

The two chucks are a bit heavy but make sure they don't fall and can be locked very tightly. The grip is easy to install and allows easy connection of the light holder and position.They are both made of aluminum alloy and are corrosion resistant and durable. No more appropriate way than the recommendation.

I have used this for a while and like that it is sturdy. It isnt lightweight, and not too easy to transport, but it is sturdy and will keep your flash equipment from falling over indoors or outdoors, even in windy conditions. I wont use anything else to suport my expensive flash or strobe lights, and softboxes !
