Main Features and Benefits

SmallRig 5604 offers several features that make it an invaluable tool for filmmakers:

• Universal 1/4"-20 Screw: With a standard 1/4"-20 screw, you can easily connect the MagSafe mount or attach other accessories like action cameras, monitors, lights, and microphones directly.
• Tool-Free Adjustment: The knurled thumb screw on the magic arm allows for quick and tool-free adjustments of positioning, saving time during hectic shoots.
• Optional Extra Tightening: An additional safety hole allows for extra tightening with an Allen key, providing added stability and security when needed.
• Anti-Rotation Joint: The dedicated anti-rotation design prevents unwanted rotation and loosening during use, ensuring that your equipment stays in place.
• Flexible Clamping Range: The crab-like clamp can grip surfaces with diameters between 15 and 40 mm, including pipes, table edges, and stabilizer rings. Built-in protective pads safeguard surfaces and enhance grip.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-quality CNC-machined aluminum and stainless steel, providing a robust and reliable construction for long-lasting use.
• Rated Load Capacity: The clamp supports a maximum load of up to 1.5 kg, which is sufficient for handling compact setups.

How to Use It

With SmallRig 5604, you can quickly attach the MagSafe mount to mount iPhones or other MagSafe-compatible devices. For non-MagSafe phones, you can easily mount the metal ring to secure your device. Use the 1/4"-20 screw to mount action cameras, small monitors, lights, or microphones directly onto the arm. The crab-like clamp allows for attachment to pipes, table edges, and stabilizer rings, providing secure and stable positioning. The built-in pads protect the surface and enhance grip.

Installation and Adjustment Tips

To install the clamp, start by selecting the appropriate mounting part, either the MagSafe mount or the metal ring, and attach it to the 1/4"-20 screw. Clamp the crab-like jaws onto your chosen surface within the range of 15–40 mm. Use the knurled thumb screw for quick adjustments, and if you need extra security, use an Allen key to lock the arm in a fixed position through the safety hole. The anti-rotating joint helps maintain the selected angle and prevents accidental loosening.
