VJIM LS11

The VIJIM LS11 is virtually identical to the SmallRIg DT-30 in terms of material, construction, design, dimensions , stability, etc. Both are made in China, most likely by the same manufacturer. The SmallRig DT-30 comes with a small, nylon carrying case that is too small and near useless. The LS11 doesn't come witht the case. Both have identical desktop clamps and both have three identical vertical tube sections that can be adjusted for same height. Both have a 1/4" screw mount ball joint on the top section for your camera or projector. Both come with an extra horizontal arm about a foot long that can be clamped onto the lower tube section or the middle tube section (but not the top 3rd vertical section). This limits the height of the horizontal arm adjustment from 0-24 inches off the desktop. But here is the key difference - the LS11 horizontal arm comes with two separable sections whereas the DT-30 horizontal arm is a fixed length design. One can screw the extra horizontal extension arm on the LS11 screws into the ball joint on the end of the first horizontal section to give extra horizontal extension. Moreover, the extra arm extension can also be screwed into the ball joint at the top of the third vertical section. This gives the LS11 about an extra 11" in total vertical height over the DT-30 (45" versus 34"); or alternately, it allows you to have a second horizontal arm. In short, the LS11 does exactly everything the DT-30 does but also offers almost a foot more adjustment in height or horizontal reach. Using just the first section of the LS11 or DT-30 horizontal arm is very stable and easily supported my 1.5 lb projector. Adding on the second 10" horizontal section onto the LS11 was still ultimately stable with the projector but it had a little initial wobble. Max rating is 2.2 lbs on either the LS11 or DT-30 horizontal arm. I believe that you can safely load 2.2 lbs on either DT30 or LS11 if you are only using the single horizontal section. With two horizontal sections, hanging 2.2 lbs on the LS11 seems doable but a little dicey. There is one small final difference between the two designs. The LS11 first extension tube screws into the desk clamp whereas the the first extension tube on the DT-30 is welded to the clamp. I found no difference in performance or stability. In short, the LS11 is virtually identical to the DT-30 in dimensions, material, paint, and quality. The LS11 and Dt30 perform identically with a single horizontal arm. However, the extra horizontal extension arm that comes with the LS11 gives it added height options and horizontal extension options.

This stand is made of primarily aluminum and is not plastic like most other stands. The assembly is super easy; all that needs to happen is twisting the base into the bottom of the stand. The product comes in two pieces, the base that attaches to the table and the rest of the stand. The main reason I was drawn to this stand is that the head where your item attaches to the stand is completely rotatable. This makes it a perfect stand for lighting if you have a small business and need to take photos, for stream lighting, for holding a camera while you work on a flat table, and possibly many other applications. Yes, there are other cheaper stands on Amazon but most all of them do not have a rotatable attachment point. Other stands are just the screw point on top of a pole leaving your attached accessory facing forward at whatever height you purchase, which in my opinion, is not very useful. Build quality is better than expected at the $30 price point and nothing is loose when attaching your accessory or to the table. I do wish this was slightly cheaper as I needed 2 for my setup, but I know I will get the value back over time from using this stand. 2 of these stand is still cheaper than buying 1 elgato stand at their normal retail price.

Very well built

For the most part, this is great to use. The one thing that I'm not really fond of is the plastic knob for tightening the bolt where the ball joint is. It broke really quickly, so I ended up getting my own bolt put together to get this to work appropriately. Other than that, it holds my heavy mic (Blue Yeti) just fine and is great for not worrying about the mic coming overhead.

Works as intended. The clamp for the small appendage arm snapped, i definitely over tightened. For the cost it was worth ordering a second one. I use other amazon mounts on it. All the ball heads it has are awesome. Easy to install, easily adjustable, versatile product. Not even upset the first one broke honestly, my fault just be careful as it doesn’t need to be lug nut tight to stay put.

Please excuse the mess. Just putting this together. These supported my 5 lb powered montors with no problem. I attached the monitor using a 1/4" to 3/8 adapter that screws into the bottom of these monitors. ( I ended up using something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Adapter-Converter-Camcorder-Ballhead/dp/B07567PHSZ and that worked great.) I have a pair of 32" (computer) monitors and a standing desk. The speakers needed to move with the desk to stay in the right place (acoustically), so I wanted to mount a pair of speakers on the desk, but they needed to be the right distance apart. The geometry required the monitors be either above or below the monitors. I tried with these monitors below (lying on their sides) on their sides, but they really aren't designed for that. I tried the monooprice stage right, but they were too short. These are surprisingly sturdy when I move the desk up and down and barely move. I think I'm going to buy another one of these for my web cam

I am very pleased with the product. Prior to receiving it, my setup wasn't stable which gave room for accidents with equipment happening. Now I am setup with a professional setup and can be more organized in my approach to live streaming.

The screw does not tighten securely into the base. It remains loose even when fully turned, making the structure unstable.

Height is enough to keep light over a 27 inch monitor and it will hold an Elgato Key light okay if you don’t need to move a lot. It’s a lighter and more compact for factor compared to the Elgato and Neewer, which is good if space is a problem, but not great if your goal is quality.

Very nice design and feels sturdy. The control joints are easy to adjust and the included pieces allow many versatile use cases. I have LED lights on the fixed post and a webcam on the extension arm which can move around.

[PT/BR] Fiquei bastante surpreso com o quanto o produto é robusto. Superou as expectativas. As head balls e todas as junções tem muita qualidade. A entrega, para o Brasil, foi bem mais rápida do que era esperado. Demorou cerca de 3 semanas, quando o prazo era de quase 2 meses. [EN] I was quite surprised by how robust the product is.

It took about 3 weeks, when the estimated delivery date was almost 2 months.

Samen met "VIJIM LS04 statiefarm voor camera/microfoon/videolamp" wordt deze mount gebruikt om m.b.v. een, lichte, beamer, naaipatronen te projecteren op een tafel. Een mooie, betaalbare oplossing.

Ich verwende das Stativ als Halterung für meine Beleuchtung, also kein volles SLR-Gewicht, eher eine mittelschwere LED-Ringleuchte. Dies mal vorab, ich kann also - zumindest bisher - wenig zur Belastbarkeit was das angeht sagen. WAS ich aber sagen kann ist, dass ich von der Qualität positiv überrascht bin. Das Stativ ist viel schwerer als ich erwartet habe, solides Metall, alle Schrauben lassen sich satt und auch mit Kraft (ich (weiblich) bin 1,80m groß und treibe viel Sport, habe also schon die Möglichkeit, einer Flügelschraube ordentlich "Zunder" zu geben ;-)) anziehen. Alle Einstellungen halten stabil und die Einstellung für die Tischplatte lässt sich recht weit öffnen: ich habe 5cm gemessen, eine Tischplatte mit 4,9cm müsste auf jeden Fall passen, eine mit 5cm vielleicht auch, wenn man die Polster, die die Tischplatte oben und unten schonen sollen, etwas zusammen quetscht. Bin begeistert und kann das Stativ jedem empfehlen, der eine gute Lösung zum an Platten schrauben will. Preis-Leistung: 1A mit Sternchen!
