Elgato Flex Arm L, Premium 4-Section Articulated Arm for easy Mounting and Adjusting of Lights, Cameras, and Microphones, for Streaming, Videoconferencing, and Studios, requires Multi Mount Essential

Very nice kit bought to pieces to mount microphones sadly I could not buy a 3/8 ball for it?There is also issue with it🧩 Root Cause:❌ The mushroom is physically too big→ Even before tightening, the clamp shells are already spread open just to fit over it→ So when you turn the knob, it can't apply proper pressure to the 20mm ball→ Instead, it’s binding early on the mushroom neck, which completely defeats the design💡 The Clamp’s Actual Design Intention:the clamping pressure should come from:The 20mm ball pushing back into the cup on one side,The clamp shells closing around the ball,And the mushroom providing resistance — not being the main contact point.If the mushroom is oversized, it lifts the shells apart = zero effective grip on the ball.

It does as you'd expect, holding things at various heights and angles... and it's actually strong. Currently it holds my Sony A5100 and Sigma f1.4 lens. Both combined are fairly heavy, but it does the job with no problems. Ensuring the ball-heads are tightened properly is important, but once they are, it stays in place.

Great for a camera extension over a monitor to reduce the trapezoid camera effect

With 5 ball and socket type joints there isn’t a positive you can’t twist it into making it highly versatile.It’s a bit faint but I’ve used a green circle to highlight the first ball joint.I struggled to get this tight enough so as not to sag under load. That was after a bit of a struggle getting it assembled in the 1st place.I practically had to fully dismantle each joint in order to get the ball into the socket.

As with all products from Elgato this is very high quality and well made. Elgato products no matter how simple, never fail to impress. Some really good ball joints on this that are rock solid when tightened.

Perfect for additional flexibility when using an Elgato multi-mount system. I use this with a high-end webcam that needed to come up and over a large monitor. Not cheap, for sure, but quality costs that little bit extra and you save the hassle/stress that cheaper options often introduce into your life.

Having the FLEXibility to adjust each increment is perfect. Extremely happy.

Absulte perfect for a mirrorless camera like the sony a5100 i use . Cant fault it in any way
