Product Information

Full details

This SmallRig kit is designed for content creators, streamers, and remote workers who need a stable and adjustable mount for their phone, webcam, or action camera on a desk or table edge. Its key benefit is providing a secure, easily positioned setup that keeps workspaces tidy. A potential caveat is its 1kg (2.2lb) weight limit, making it unsuitable for heavier equipment. The kit includes an adjustable magic arm, a crab-shaped clamp, a phone clamp, an action camera mount, and a cable clamp for organized cable management.

Troubleshooting

Clamp not holding securely

Ensure the clamp is attached to a surface within its 55mm opening. Clean any dust or debris from the clamp jaws and the surface being mounted to. Tighten the clamp knob firmly.

Device feels unstable on the arm

Verify the device's weight does not exceed the 1kg (2.2lb) payload capacity. Ensure all joints on the magic arm are tightened securely. Check that the device is properly seated in its holder.

Magic arm difficult to adjust

Make sure the central tightening knob (if applicable, or individual joint knobs) is loosened before attempting to adjust. If it's stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing the joints.

Phone clamp won't fit smartphone

Confirm your smartphone's width is between 60mm and 95mm. Adjust the clamp arms to accommodate your device.
