Looking for a high quality articulating arm for my monotor.

I am looking for a good quality articulating arm for my monstro/monitor. I am using the Red version, but I am sure that one is a rebranded one from China. It works but think it will wear out and doesn't hold up to well without cranking down on the lever.

Titan Arm is the best I've used.

I was looking at that one. But the elbow on the arm doesn't look like it allows much movement since it's not a ball joint? It looks huge too. Is it heavy?

 

[Chris Kennedy]

Titan is solid and once unlocked the movement is fluid.
I also have a couple Noga arms and they are alright-but not as solid as the Titan.

SmallRig arms, you can make them short or long as you like and with different screws,... on each side

 

[Mike Kozlenko]

Matthews Infinity arm is my favorite and the most rugged and reliable I've used, by a mile, even over the Titan arm. Not sure if Matthews still makes them anymore though

 

[FrankMcPartland]

I use an "early model" Matthew Infinity Arm ---very solid...

 

[Nick Gardner]

They all kind of suck and fail eventually. I find the small rig arms the most cost efficient ones. They have rosettes at the main joint, so they don't slip very much.

I used almost every single arm out there... the Titan arm is head and shoulders above the rest. It is heavier than most arms but it will outlast your career.

 

[Johnny Hurberg]

Infinity arm, can be used as a handle as well.

Ultra light arm, no contest.
Made for underwater use originally.
I so good and rock solid, that I use it to hold my EVF!

Thera are a lot of copies out there among them are the WC(more expensive) and the SmallRig(A lot heavier)

In a few years there will be allmost nothing but these underwater-type arms out there. Goodbye Noga...

I asked them to make a version that was 25% smaller, so lets see.
