The Best Friction Arm Available
VERY Important information the way this item works: All if these magic Arms do not give a valid description as to how they work which leads to many being returned faulty when they are not, the side mounts move freely up until the point you tighten the right angle down its at this point the magic happens inside the mechanics is activated and both sides lock down.So with many of these Magic arms on the market that have literally flopped, yes I do mean flopped their mechanics inside just isn't up to the task and therefore all the mounts just flop about a culprit of that is the Neewer brand!So what makes this unit different well immediately that you get it out the box you can feel it's a completely different engineered device this unit feels so much nicer and studier that the others.The unit comes with a a whole host of accessories included 1x Go Pro Mounts a Very unique and nice to handle go pro thrumb screw bolt, Smartphone Mount and an Ultra Soft 7' x 7' suedette style cleaning cloth that Fantaseal are always good a giving our (Fantastic on smartphone screens and lenses)So the other thing is the all-important friction clamp most of these are a chunk of metal and they just slap a clump of uhu glue of the clasps and put some rubber matting on thats your friction grip, Fantaseal the Metal clamp has been engineered flawlessly and has the rubber carefully connected to it so it doesn't damage other devices it connects to.So how easy is it to setup very easy check out this guide TRUTH has made for you :Ok so you have bought your Fantaseal Friction Grip Task 1 Completed ;).To be able to easily connected your devices rather than wrestle around wishing you had two more hands lay the items out flat on a Table.Generally for instance the picture included the LED Light we laid out top left the adjusted the Magic arm into a right angle, we then placed the friction clamp down to the right of the magic arm. It was only once we had the items all laids out and checked we then lifter up only one side of the magic arm (Leave the rest sat down on table so not heavy) connect firstly the LED Lamp into place then lower that side down and raised other side and install the friction Clamp and lay all back down. Get everything straight as you can and as flush as you can to make micro adjustments later, then tighten town the right angle arm bolt (As tight as possible) you can freely lift it up now as a complete unit now ;).So let's give this the TRUTH UNBOX low down:Pros:- Amazing price you literally as always so much in the box with Fantaseal.- Build Quality Redicolous - Military grade build quality amazing.- Finally a magic arm that works correctlyCons:- There are no cons -Just please follow the guide above on how to use many done realise you have to tighten the middle for the sides to tighten up, so in a way this could be made clearer in Instructions however I have done this for you.

Really Good Product
This magic arm tool is a really good product. It comes with all the accessories in order to hold a GoPro or a smartphone. I have a GoPro Hero 5 Black and a OnePlus 6, which both fit perfectly and securely.I was initially surprised by the quality of the product, as I expected it to be made from a cheap plastic, but its made from solid metal so I know it will last and endure wear and tear. The arm fits together easily and can be adjusted to move into different positions, to achieve the required shot.For £12.99 this product is well worth the money, especially if you're recording videos in places with limited space available.Would Recommend.

Well made and versatile.
This arm is very durable and the joints are strong, easily holding my camera horizontal. Barring someone dropping a house on it, I can see it lasting a lifetime.The only problem I had with it (and the reason it's 4 stars and not 5) is it did not come with a manual or even a simple sheet, showing how the pieces A) come apart and B) go together for the different variations you want to achieve. After a very frustrating 30 minutes of fiddling with it, and my husband fiddling with it, I gave up and looked for a manual online. The only thing I had to go on was the buffing cloth that came with the arm, with the webpage 'fantaseal' printed on it. There, I didn't find a manual/sheet, but I DID find a picture with a clear image of what I was trying to achieve. It unlocked my problem (a piece I thought was one full piece, was actually two, giving me the male part I needed for all the female connections I had). Two minutes later, and I had a working magic arm!It comes with a lot of accessories for different needs.I will include a picture of the picture that helped me with my problem, in case it helps someone else, from the fantaseal.com site.Yes, in spite of my frustrations, I would recommend this product to others.

Great idea, but not up to spec
2020-04-17: Unfortunately the one I ordered arrived with a fault - it can't support a 400g camcorder without flopping all over the place (no matter how tightly the lock is turned), let alone 1kg of camera. It arrived with a ring of chowdered metal around one of the ball joints, which is the part that's shifting when it's supposed to be locked in place, so I believe it's a manufacturing defect.For some reason, I can only request a refund, not a replacement, so I've ordered another one in the hope that it's not faulty. I really want to like this piece of kit! I will update this review once the replacement arrives.

Strong, Sturdy, Does the Job!
I needed a clamp arm stand for a camera, mainly so that I can video inside a car whilst driving with a compact camera and a 360 VR camera.After much research I settled on this one by fantaseal with its two arms and clamp.The packaging comes with a lot of attachments for go-pros, smartphone's and of course with a standard camera attachment.The camera arm stand was fairly easy to attach to a car chair head rest without the need of any extra tools, and proved stable in real world use. And of course can attach to other stuff as well such as desks, and any virtually anything that's less than 1 inch thick.So what more can I say it does the job, a bonus is that its made of metal so should last a lot longer than plastic ones.
