K&F ConceptMS14 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.

The K and F MS13 clamp and dual ball head has proved a very good buy.It's both versatile and flexible.... VERY flexible, making it easy to use my camera in confined and awkward places.I gave it a thorough run through. Whether I used it to:1 - hold some mini LED lighting in place,2- angled the double ball head to hold my camera for sone awkwardly placed shots ( rather than go through contortions and trying to hand hold my camera steady )3 - or simply clamped it to a door frame so I could video a family of robins in our garden without being obtrusive and frightening them off.the K and F clamp and arm performed perfectly.I was most concerned about " trusting " it to hold my Fujifilm X3 and the Fujifilm 50-140 lens in place firmly, and was a little apprehensive as it's a combined weight of 1.7kgs ( and a fair bit of money 😃 !! )No need to worry, it held it, literally, like a vice.You can also remove the ball head and lay the clamp flat and use it as a solid base to mount your camera, which I did with my Fujifilm XF10.It's a seriously solid, extremely versatile and well made piece of kit and very good value indeed.It's also easy compact enough to slip into your camera bag and I'm already wondering how I managed before I bought it!Well worth it for its adaptability, multi faceted uses and simple operation.

I have to say I'm really impressed with K&F concept's products. They certainly look the part, are really well made, and ultimately deliver. This clamp is an impressive bit of kit that has a really strong clamping action that can be attached to pretty much anything you can think of, a branch, fence, table, or even a motorcycle frame. I use a Nikon D850 and it copes really well with the weight of the body and a small to medium lens, clamping it securely with no hint of slippage. I can position it pretty much anyway I want to for those unique shots and I love the fact it comes with a phone holder attachment letting me clamp to my tripod and create a video instruction on my phone at the same time.A great bit of kit from K&F concepts at a really affordable price. I would highly recommend this to add some extra flexibility to your setup.

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.
