SmallRig 5604 MagSafe-Compatible Crab-Shaped Clamp

SmallRig 5604 MagSafe-Compatible Crab-Shaped Clamp – Magic Arm with 1/4"-20 Mount and Anti-Rotation Joint

What this clamp does

The SmallRig 5604 combines an integrated magic arm with a crab-shaped clamp, a MagSafe mount, and a metal ring. It lets you attach iPhones and MagSafe-compatible devices quickly using the MagSafe mount and pairs with the included metal ring for non-MagSafe Android phones and other devices. The design offers flexible mounting options for a range of compact gear.

Key features and benefits

• Universal 1/4"-20 screw: Use the 1/4"-20 screw to connect the MagSafe mount or to attach action cameras, monitors, lights, microphones and other accessories directly.
• Tool-free adjustments: The magic arm uses a knurled thumbscrew for quick, tool-free positioning.
• Optional extra tightening: An additional securing hole allows further tightening with an Allen wrench when you need a firmer lock.
• Anti-rotation joint: A dedicated anti-rotation design at the joint between the crab-shaped clamp and the magic arm prevents loosening or detachment during use.
• Versatile clamping range: The opposite end grips tubes, tables, tripod legs, or stabilizer handheld rings with diameters from 15 to 40 mm and includes built-in pads to protect surfaces and improve stability.
• Durable construction: CNC-machined high quality aluminum and stainless steel provide robust construction and reliable performance.
• Rated payload: Supports a maximum payload of up to 1.5kg for compact setups.

How you can use it

Attach the MagSafe mount to mount iPhones or MagSafe-compatible devices quickly. For non-MagSafe phones, fit the metal ring and secure your device. Alternatively, use the 1/4"-20 screw to mount action cameras, small monitors, lights or microphones directly on the arm. Clamp the crab-shaped jaw to tubing, table edges, tripod legs or stabilizer rings between 15 and 40 mm in diameter for secure positioning. The built-in pads help protect the clamped surface while improving grip.

Installation and adjustment tips

First, choose the proper mounting piece (MagSafe mount or metal ring) and attach it to the 1/4"-20 screw. Then clamp the crab-shaped jaw onto your support point within the 15–40 mm range. Use the knurled thumbscrew to make quick adjustments, and if needed, insert an Allen wrench into the additional securing hole to lock the arm more firmly. The anti-rotation joint helps maintain the chosen angle and prevents accidental loosening.
