You can connect any payload to it, like a camera, strobes, flashes, ham antenna, lamps, lights, Christmas ornaments, anything imaginable so as long you get the right connectors and redneck engineer approved contraptions.
The main reason I got this was for getting lower reach and holding at different angles my 5D SR/MIV cameras and non super-telephoto lenses or my flashlights or strobes. Also my Alpha MagLoop Antenna and UHF/HF Antenna connect nicely to it, if I want to stick them out of my house while not being visible to my communist HOA and its patrolling comrades.
The stiffness, which is a boon for performing the acrobatic works this snake can do can be a bane, if you want a little more flexibility for maneuverability. But that is minor trouble, for the load this beast can carry.
Build quality is what you expect from Manfrotto - Spectacular. Price is reasonable around $30 to $35. I will probably end up getting a couple more, given it has broaden my imagination of what it can do after using it for the last few months.
I will give this a 4.8 out of 5. Don't worry about this snake, buy it, it will not bite you - Pinky Promise.
Suggestion - Sea Sucker makes great suction cup based camera mount (among other do-daddles) that can handle 210lb pull force (I have hung my 180 lb self from it a couple of times) and has 1/4 inch male threads. If you get a 1/4 inch female to female attachment, the Sea Sucker can suck this snake to do amazing things while being firmly planted to whatever surface it sucks on. Plus it is a Made in USA product from a local Florida Dude.
I use this for adding an additional light or flash off my tripod for macro photography and it works well for that purpose.
The only flaw I see here is, that all by itself, it can't be mounted to the accessory 3/8-inch female connection on my tripod. The Flex Arm has a 1/4-20 external thread on one end to mount your light, flash, or other accessory; but there is a internal 3/8-16 thread on the other end, which cannot connect to the similar threaded accessory socket on the tripod. You will need a stud (3/8-16 to 3/8-16) in order to connect to the tripod. While these are readily available, I think Manfrotto should have included this with the Flex Arm. It would have raised the price only slighty (if at all) and would have alleviated me the cost of discovery and having to order it separately.
First off this thing is STRONG ! Looking at it in pictures and videos makes it look kinda flimsy but be confident when I say this will hold my Nikon D750 with battery grip and Nikon 24-70mm lens with a transmitter in the hotshoe ! Wow
Fits great and works great with the Manfrotto super clamp.
So far so good with the durability. Only time will tell if this holds up and stays strong for the long haul but for now I have no complaints.
Also just to be clear even though this is super strong it is NOT heavy at all.
I don't know how Manfrotto did it but they did.
I thought it would be a great idea to mount to my headboard for reading or watching movies at night before going to bed, but ran into several issues with this flex arm. But, depending on your intended use for this flex arm, these may well be PROs.
- The first is that it is SO heavy that it can sag under its own weight if not using strictly in a vertical manner.
- When purchasing, 21" seemed like a lot of length, but because its strength is in vertical placement, it is too short to create arches to support horizontal weight.
- to get a comfortable viewing distance from an iPad, the flex arm was mounted high up on a vertical corner post to compensate for some sagging. Unfortunately, this places the iPad directly overhead.
- the finished exterior metal "wraps" around a core which could "unwind" by bending / flexing the arm. The tripod ball mount could only tilt so much, so I had to bend the arm like in the picture. Causes the arm to lose strength and sag.
- Is hard to get a bend radius of anything greater than maybe 160 degrees, you probably could do it, but might risk a kink or split in the wrapping.
This flex arm's strength is in its ability to support a lot of vertical weight, however your mileage may vary and it could work better for your application.
