Hi.

I wonder what Magic Arm users here like?

I'm thinking of SmallHD 7 monitor for my cam but arm part is a bit confusing still.

Not sure about the question but I have one for my AC7. Really easy to put the monitor where you like it and then screw the handle so it locks position and doesn't move.

What i meant is what you feel is good in sense of good locking.

I spoke to one dop here and he pointed that arm should have really firm locking ability.

This is why i ask.

I've had no issues there with locking, but for obvious reasons, don't swing the camera around quickly for my stuff.

I bought the AC7 via the group buy with the other BMD forum. So whatever SmallHD sells.
