SmallRig 5625 Desktop Magic Arm with Crab-Shaped Clamp Kit

SmallRig 5625 Desktop Magic Arm with Crab-Shaped Clamp Kit – 57cm adjustable arm for secure, tidy mounting

The SmallRig 5625 kit gives you a compact, flexible mounting solution for lightweight shooting equipment. It fits smartphones, webcams, and action cameras, and it helps you keep cables under control during filming.

What’s included and what it does

The kit contains a 57cm adjustable magic arm with an integrated crab-shaped clamp, a phone clamp, a universal action camera mount, and a cable clamp. Together, these parts let you position and secure compact devices on desks, poles, or other surfaces while keeping cables neat and out of the way.

Rigid one-piece design for stable mounting

The magic arm and crab clamp use a one-piece design that prevents deflection. As a result, you get a firmer hold and more predictable positioning when you mount your device. This design reduces unwanted movement and helps maintain framing during recording or streaming.

Built-in cable management

The cable clamp mounts directly to the magic arm. Therefore, you can route power or data cables along the arm and avoid cable clutter. This keeps your workspace tidier and reduces the risk of accidental tugs or disconnections while shooting.

Crab-shaped clamp versatility and protection

The crab-shaped clamp opens up to 55mm, so it accommodates both flat surfaces and cylindrical objects. Silicone pads line the jaws to ensure a secure grip without scratching or damaging the mounted surfaces. Consequently, you can use the clamp on desks, rails, tripods, and more.

Phone and camera compatibility

• The included phone clamp fits devices from 60 to 95mm wide, making it suitable for most smartphones.
• The kit also contains a universal action camera mount for attaching action-style cameras directly to the arm.

Construction and capacity

The arm is constructed primarily from aluminum alloy, providing durability for repeated use. It supports a payload of up to 1kg, which covers many smartphones, webcams, and small action cameras used in desktop and compact setups.
