Good, but...

This is a very good quality mounting arm, but I will start by mentioning one of the drawbacks. The hot shoe adapter easily begins to unscrew from the arm if this rig is holding any decent weight. I believe this is happening because 1) the connection to the shoe adapter is rubberized, preventing it from fully tightening, 2) there are two separate pieces going from the arm to the shoe adapter, offering more joints that can come loose. Also, be sure to absolutely tighten it in your shoe mount as much as possible, or you may have it slipping out. That screw may also come loose. The above would likely be mitigated by removing the shoe adapter and simply mounting this by the screw (if you have a rig allowing for that). Or finding a one-piece shoe adapter. Otherwise, the joints of the arm itself are sturdy, and easily articulate into just the place you want them to go. This is a good mounting arm like I said; four stars due to the adapter issue.
