Overview

The Neewer ST15 is a 5.9-inch (15 cm) adjustable friction magic arm designed for mounting lightweight accessories — LED video lights, on-camera monitors, shotgun microphones, and flash units — to camera rigs, super clamps, cages, and 15mm rod systems. Its dual 360-degree ball head design allows full rotational freedom at both ends, enabling precise angle adjustments to position your gear exactly where needed. A single central friction knob locks both ball heads and the arm's angle simultaneously, so repositioning is a quick loosen-adjust-tighten process rather than a multi-step ordeal.

Constructed from aluminum alloy and stainless steel, the ST15 weighs just 0.4 lbs (0.18 kg) yet supports up to 4.4 lbs (2 kg). Anti-slip rubber cushions on both mounting surfaces prevent scratches on monitors or light housings while adding friction for a more secure hold. Standard 1/4-inch screw threads on each end ensure broad compatibility with the vast majority of on-camera accessories and mounting hardware. The compact size makes it easy to toss in a gear bag or even a jacket pocket, and it is equally at home on a studio rig or a run-and-gun field setup.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Single-knob locking mechanism controls both ball heads at once, making repositioning fast and simple
  • Aluminum alloy and stainless steel construction provides durability at only 0.4 lbs total weight
  • Anti-slip rubber cushions on both mounting ends protect equipment surfaces and improve hold
  • 5.9-inch length is compact enough to fit in a pocket yet provides meaningful reach for positioning

  • 4.4 lb maximum load capacity is too low for larger field monitors or heavy LED panels
  • 5.9-inch arm length limits how far you can offset mounted accessories from the attachment point
  • Only 1/4-inch threads on both ends — no 3/8-inch option without a separate adapter
  • Single knob design means you cannot independently adjust one ball head without affecting the other
