TARION Overhead Camera Desk Mount - 360° Flexible Articulating Arm with 3/8'' 1/4" Screw Ballhead & C Clamp 3kg Heavy Duty Camera Arm for DSLR Projector Ring Light TKA01-L

I use the TARION Overhead Desk Camera Mount as a second camera for streaming, and it’s been excellent. It was very easy to assemble and felt solid straight out of the box. Once set up, it has a strong, secure hold on the camera with no wobble or unwanted movement, even when adjusting angles or during long streams. The build quality feels sturdy and reliable, making it perfect for overhead desk shots. Overall, a great mount that does exactly what it promises.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the TARION Overhead Tripod Camera Desk Mount! I’ve gone through my fair share of mounts and tripods, but this one has truly exceeded my expectations. First off, the 360° flexible articulating arm is incredibly sturdy and offers precise control over positioning. Whether you’re using it for overhead shots or adjusting the angle for a close-up, it’s easy to find the perfect setup. The 3/8'' screw and included 3/8'' to 1/4'' screw adapter make it compatible with a wide range of equipment, from DSLR cameras to projectors and even ring lights. The build quality is top-notch, with a solid, heavy-duty design that gives me confidence that it will hold my camera or light securely. The arm is also surprisingly smooth to adjust, and I love how it locks in place without any slipping or wobbling. It’s perfect for my desk setup, and I can use it for everything from streaming and filming tutorials to setting up my projector for presentations. What I especially love is the space-saving design. It mounts easily to the desk without taking up too much room, and I can quickly reposition it when needed. Whether you’re a photographer, streamer, or someone who needs a reliable tripod mount for various devices, this product is an excellent choice. Highly recommend it!

There's obviously quite a big market for camera, microphone and light supports. There are also light and heavy versions of all of this lot and people have different requirements and expectations. The mixed reviews reflect this. I've tried loads of these professionally, from the big manufacturers at different price points - Manfrotto, SmallRig, Neewer etc - and this is essentially a good bit of solid kit at the price point. Basically, once you have it set up it's rigid and well made. I wanted to attach mine to a Manfrotto light table set-up to hold an LED light panel, so had to do a bit of engineering to get a solid fix onto tubular alloy at the base. On a table top it would be very quick and easy. The other thing to know, as others have flagged, is that the geared inserts (4 per joint) fall out if you slacken the joints. Tiredome. Ideally they would be 'captive' but that would involve the manufacturer a load more work and expense to pass on to end users. Re-assembling the joints is doable but fiddly, so be warned! Assuming you want this for a specific task (voicing microphone above your desk say...), once set up this would be an excellent choice. Unlike some magic arm solutions, regular adjustments will be a bit grungy and confined to one plane per joint. Don't let this out you off if you have a known requirement and plan to leave it more or less set up, as unlike some other options I've tried this is genuinely solid without whippy wobble, and can be moved into loads of positions. Things like the Manfrotto Magic Arm are smoother and more fluid to adjust but 2-3x the money and leave you with adjustments handles sticking out. I am buying a second one, so reservations accepted this should be some sort of recommendation.

I have this set up for video use and it's sturdy and easily adjustable. This was just what I was looking for.

Here's the plus points - Its made of metal - and its strong. The horizontal arm can easily take the weight of my mirrorless camera plus lens. The clamp is also strong enough to grip a table edge. However - whenever you need to make an adjustment, the wheeled hinge mechanism is fidgety, awkward to use and a bit of a pain. It could be better implemented. But once you set up, the device will stay firmly in place - even if you leave your camera screwed on at the end. There are a couple of caveats though: 1. Even though the turn keys lock the wheeled hinges in place, there is still a little bit play at the joins. It may be only milli-meters, but it can be alloying if you need the camera to be level. So it takes a bit more fidgeting around to get the exact angle you want. 2. The arms only move in one dimension - so they can go up and down - but they cannot swivel sideways from the hinge, or rotate around their axes. Hence only 3 stars. Real shame that this is a good idea - but not thought out well. I would have taken a standard 1970's hinged table-lamp as my study - and developed the stand from that. But the price is good - and like I said, once you are set-up - and assuming you don't need to make frequent adjustments, it actually serves its purpose quite well.

Very solid construction, high quality arm. The joints don't just rely on friction which stops them slipping. The weakest point is the table clamp which is expected, but even without any reinforcement it is solid enough to hold my DSLR.

what can i say that has not already been said by my fellow 1 star review givers i agreed and double all that's been said this item is not made well at its base its a good idea and its firm on some part but this is only when you have it holding noting at all you'll play around with it and say yeah this is neat but no sadly its not made well enough to hold a dlsr or mirrorless well at all i wanted something i could clamp to a desk and stay stil to records a certain shot instead this is only going to get worse far as usability goes

Actually really solid, use this for streaming and recording top-down Tech reviews and will not let you down at all. Buy this one🤣.

Mucha calidad del producto… muy robusto, seguro y un brazo muy articulable. Se fija muy bien en la mesa.

Für streamer ist das ein super Stativ ! Du kannst deine Web cam oder eine echte Kamera befestigen und es sieht schön aus und ist stabil !!! Also von mir eine kaufempfehlung. Ich habe eine webcam von Elgato die Pro 4K und habe eine zweite Elgato mit 1080p so kann ich jetzt 2 befestigen also die Haupt cam an den Halter hier und die mit einem zweiten Winkel an der alten Halterung die war von Elgato.

Grazie ad Amazon ho potuto conoscere e provare questo fantastico Braccio Articolato prodotto da TARION e devo dire che sono rimasto sbalordito dalla qualità dei materiali e dalla realizzazione di questo prodotto! Un vero must-have per creativi e content creators come fotografi e videomakers! Grazie a questo braccio articolato riesco a comporre praticamente ogni scena o set per riprese sempre nuove e accattivanti! Utile anche per posizionare il microfono durante la registrazione di voiceover o podcast. Si monta in pochi semplicissimi passaggi e idea veramente geniale troviamo un porta chiave esagonale per poter avere con noi tutto il necessario! Il morsetto alla base è realizzato in maniera ottimale per distribuire la pressione su una superficie ampia e anche l'escursione molto ampia della vite ci permette di bloccarlo anche su tavoli o scrivanie molto spesse. Una volta serrate le viti rimane ben saldo e grazie alla testa a sfera inclusa potremo regolare alla perfezione anche l'angolo dell'oggetto collegato, che sia la macchina fotografica o il microfono. Sinceramente un prodotto valido che non può mancare nel kit di un creativo digitale! CONSIGLIATISSIMO!

Le pied est top et je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'il soit si haut une fois tout tendu. Le système de fixation permettant aux rotules de pouvoir être articulées ou bloquée est bien conçu pour le coup, y'aura pas de soucis à mettre qqch avec un peu de poids et de risquer de voir le bras descendre tout seul. Petit bémol, ma lampe (Neewer 660 pro) ne peut pas se fixer dessus directement, il me faudra trouver un adaptateur pcq la base de ma lampe n'est pas un filet qui se fixe sur le support, mais c'est moi qui aurait du faire attention car c'est bien expliqué dans la description du produit.

This was the only one I could find with the length and options I needed because I wanted to connect to the side not the top. It is working and I've had it set up for six weeks, we even had a tropical storm with maybe 40 mph wind gust, and it hasn't budged. The poles are very sturdy metal. I wish they were 1 inch longer or if there was an option just to buy one longer pole. The metal poles are very heavy, and do contribute to some of the unsteadiness, because I have this attached horizontally rather than vertically. The joints are all plastic. I am pretty certain if you wanted to take this apart and move it a lot it would fail pretty fast. I tightened the knob at the mount as much as I thought I could without cracking it. It really wants to spin to the left but since I don't touch it at all it has stayed. The other two joints in the middle are like gears so you do not have a high degree of custom positions, it's approximately a quarter inch for each turn. It took a lot for me to get the shoe off to mount it on the side instead, they give you an Allen wrench and I ended up laying it on the floor and stepping on the wrench with my foot because it was screwed on so tight. I had a very specific and unique situation and this worked so I'm giving it five stars. I also thought it was a very fair price. If you need to mount something and leave it there, I highly recommend this. It would also work well if you only have to turn it where the bar connects to the clamp in a vertical situation. I do wish it came in white but maybe I will paint it one day. Note that the piece on the top where I have the ring outdoor cam attached is something I already had (repurposed selfie stick camera holder), it did not come with this. This came with a ball joint attachment that I did not use.
