The SmallRig Magic Arm with Dual Ball Heads (3873) is designed for videographers and photographers who need a versatile and lightweight mounting solution for monitors, recorders, and other accessories. Its key benefit is providing secure and adjustable positioning with a 6kg load capacity, though users should be mindful of its compact size which might limit very large or heavy equipment.

The SmallRig Magic Arm 3873 has a maximum weight capacity of 6 kg (approximately 13.2 lbs).
The screws on both ball heads are standard 1/4"-20 screws, common for camera and accessory mounting.
Yes, the package includes 2 x Silicone Rings to help ensure a secure fit for your mounted accessories.
Yes, the dual ball head design allows for full 360-degree rotation, enabling mounting and positioning in virtually any orientation.
You can adjust the angle by loosening the central thumb lever, positioning the ball heads as desired, and then tightening the thumb lever to secure the position.
The SmallRig Magic Arm 3873 is constructed from a combination of Aluminium alloy and Stainless steel for durability and a lightweight design.
Yes, each 1/4"-20 screw features stretchable pins designed to prevent rotation and keep your accessory securely in place, provided the accessory has corresponding pinholes.
Ensure the central thumb lever is fully tightened. If still loose, check for any debris on the ball head mechanism and clean it. Use the magnetic wrench for a final firm tighten of the thumbwheel.
Confirm the 1/4"-20 screw is fully threaded into the accessory and camera/mount. Check that the stretchable pins are engaged if the accessory has corresponding holes. Re-tighten the central thumb lever firmly.
Loosen the central thumb lever completely before attempting to adjust the ball heads. Ensure no foreign particles are obstructing the ball joint.
Setup: To set up the SmallRig Magic Arm, first attach one 1/4"-20 screw end to your camera, cage, tripod, or other mounting point. Then, attach your accessory (monitor, light, etc.) to the other 1/4"-20 screw end. Adjust the position by loosening the central thumb lever, positioning the ball heads, and then tightening the lever securely. Use the magnetic wrench at the bottom if further tightening of the thumbwheels is needed.
Compatibility: This magic arm is compatible with any equipment featuring a 1/4"-20 female thread. The stretchable pins on the screws help ensure compatibility with devices that have corresponding pinholes to prevent slippage. It is suitable for mounting most camera accessories up to 6kg, including monitors, LED lights, microphones, and recorders.
Care: To maintain the magic arm, regularly clean it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the ball heads are not overtightened, as this can stress the mechanism. Store in a dry place when not in use.
