I connected this to the ephoto 7 inch articulating arm and it works perfectly for holding my microphone and other accessories on my tripod.

This product will give you a lot of choices for temporarily mounting items to tripods, camera rigs, of anything up to about 1 3/4 inches in diameter. Although it is all metal and seems to be well constructed, it has fairly soft rubber inserts, which fall out very easily on mine, that prevent the device from damaging whatever it is attached to and, unfortunately, significantly reduce the holding capacity. I have a small ball-head mount attached to mine that is about 2-inches long. I can't mount anything more than a few ounces or it rotates (slowly) no matter how much I tighten it with my hand. If it is orientated with the mounting hole pointing straight up, it works fine and I'm sure there are many applications for it to be used in this way. But it isn't well suited for my camera rig. It would probably work better if the rubber pads were thinner, harder, and attached with an industrial adhesive instead of hot glue. All that being said, I am keeping it because I can see where it will come in handy in a pinch (no pun intended).Solid piece of hardware. Bought along with ePhoto articulating arm. I have both a small Manfrotto tripod for my small HD camera, and a large, heavy duty one (with very thick tube-style legs) for my 25-pound SD camera. Fits both easily. Very pleased!This is a heavy, bulky device, but works. I have to add 7 more words to this or it will not allow me to submit this. I am sure this it not the 7 words they intended for me to write. Maybe they will take the requirement off when they read this over and over on my other reviews.Save 50% Off
