K&F Concept MS14 Magic Arm, Magic Arm with two ball heads, Mini Magic Arm with 360° swivelling ball head

I picked up the K&F Concept Super Clamp (MS13) mainly to help with mounting my camera and lights in my pretty cramped workspace. Out of the box, you get the clamp, a dual ballhead magic arm, a GoPro adapter, and a phone holder. The first thing I noticed was how solid everything feels—it's made from aluminium, so it doesn’t seem like it’ll break anytime soon.What I really like is how flexible this thing is. The magic arm rotates in every direction, and you can adjust all the joints with one thumbscrew, which saves a lot of time. The clamp opens wide enough to grab onto just about anything—I’ve used it on my desk, a tripod, and even my bike handlebars for a test ride (that was a bit of a stretch, but it held up).There are several 1/4" threads on both the clamp and the arm, so you can attach all sorts of gear. The anti-scratch pads are a nice touch—they keep things from slipping and don’t damage surfaces. Sometimes I just use the clamp or the arm on their own, depending on what I’m setting up.In terms of performance, it’s been super reliable. I’ve used it with my iPhone 15 Pro Max, a GoPro Hero 11, and my Sony a6700 with a Sigma 18-50mm lens, and it’s held everything steady. The quick-release is handy, though I did notice that if you clamp it onto a really smooth surface, it can slip a bit. Also, if there’s a lot of vibration (like on a bike), the thumbscrew might loosen, so maybe not the best for action shots unless you add some threadlock.Pros:Feels sturdy and well-madeHolds onto almost anything (even my door!)Super adjustable magic armLots of mounting options and accessoriesGood value for what you getCons:Grip isn’t perfect on very smooth surfacesThumbscrew can loosen if there’s a lot of movementOverall, I’m happy with it. It’s compact, lightweight (about 220g), and has made my setup way more flexible. I’ll definitely keep it in my kit for future shoots.

K & F Concept Super ClampWow! I’m blown away with this piece of kit.I wanted to film a bird which was nesting in my garden wall. The super clamp enabled me to take videos on my iPhone and my camera simultaneously with ease.I attached it to my tripod; it’s so easy and so sturdy.It feels solid, so I don’t have to worry about my expensive iPhone taking a tumble.What I didn’t expect but came as a bonus for me was that I was also able to use the clamp to attach my binoculars to my tripod!It’s such good qualitydesign and engineering. Solid but not too heavy or bulky.The double ball head and magic arm offer so many options for attaching and angles.I love the attention to detail and care. For instance, the protective rubber pads inside the grip. Which is even on the phone grip (see pics), which means I can confidently attach things without causing scratches.I would like to get a GoPro in the near future, so the fact that this kit includes an attachment for that is yet another bonus!You get a lot for your money. A great addition to any camera set up. Which takes up very little space or weight, making it easy for travel.I can’t find a single fault with this piece of kit. Great value!

The clamp itself is decent and works for light-duty setups, but it doesn’t hold as firmly or tightly as I expected, especially when fully extended.The real highlight here is the accessories — the phone holder and GoPro adapter are both excellent quality and add a lot of versatility to the setup. I really appreciated those extras.That said, I did run into a concern during testing: both ball heads (the adjustable joints) popped out unexpectedly while adjusting the angles. I was able to slot them back in, and they still function, but they feel slightly looser than before. This didn’t prevent me from using the product, but it’s something to be aware of — especially if you plan to mount anything heavier or more valuable.

I bought this as a way to attach my camera to the pole on an older enlarger so that I could make copy stand for 'scanning' 35mm and 120 negative film. Due to the size and surface of the enlarger stand, I found that the clamp's grip wasn't quite as solid as I'd have liked, but after a couple of months trial I have found that the camera is stable for my purposes. For transparency, I'm holding a Fuji XT2 camera with 7Artisans 60/2.8 macro lens with the clamp, set so that the clamp is holding the camera and lens at right angles to the baseboard. This is probably the most demanding angle that you could use the clamp for, and whilst there is a little play, it doesn't slip and since I'm using a remote release cable there is no danger of accidentally moving it out of alignment. I'm not sure about the 5Kg maximum loading claim under these particular circumstances, but for most purposes I think it would be fine. I like the concept and it appears to be quite well executed but is not quite the 'super clamp' system I'd hoped for, but in practice is doing the job. My original review was a little more critical but in hindsight since I got it to work for me I'm satisfied and an update was appropriate.

great clamp however the ball articulation clamp knob no longer releases the clamp so its stuck in a single position, so not really practical. This occurred having only used it 2 or 3 times.
