The gooseneck itself is extremely strong and sturdy; it takes a significant amount of force to bend it, and it will not move or sag once it's been positioned. It ends with a ball joint that can be freely adjusted and securely tightened by its ring, and a quick-release screw mount like you find on most cameras: a small piece attaches to the bottom of the camera and then snaps into the mount platform.
I purchased this product to mount my Vivitek Qumi LED projector to the headboard of my bed; I did not want a permanent mount which would have required drilling holes in the wall, but I needed something that was at the same time very sturdy, hard to move, but flexible and easy to adjust. I also did not want to spend a fortune.
The Arkon delivered on all counts. It's very sturdy, and I would not hesitate to entrust it with my DSLR. Once you set it in place and tighten it, it won't move. My only regret is that I didn't find out about it sooner! Recommended.
Pros: Super durable, screw in mount for cameras with quick release.
Cons: Not really flexible
This thing is STURDY. Zero concerns about my camera coming loose or unwanted arm flexing. If anything, be warned that adjusting the arm will take some serious effort, but completely worth it if you have nice gear at the end that you want locked in place.
Not sure why it was so hard to find such a sturdy mounting arm; if this is in your budget and its length is adequate, this is the mounting arm to get.

The flexibility of the bendable part is not real great. Which is probably good for holding it in place, but made it difficult to bend and position to where I wanted it.
First is the ball-head, which is incredibly flimsy. Even on it's max tightness, a slight touch from a hand will move the camera a lot from the initial position. I use a Lumix G7, which is one of the more light cameras out there, and even then the mount sometimes struggles to hold a position due to its weight.
Second is the arm itself. The arm is literally a solid metal rod, making it INCREDIBLY difficult to bend into the shape you want. When you DO manage to get it into the shape you want, it will hold it very sturdily. But if you'll struggle to get to that point. I had to use all of my strength just to achieve some basic bends.
This is a perfect example of the saying 'you get what you pay for'. This is a cheap product, and it's use shows it. The 'too-flimsy' ball head combined with the 'too-stiff' arm make this practically useless to me.
