On the leg attachment pieces, where they thread into the next piece, there is a small “spike” that seems to be meant to keep them from coming loose – good idea and not bad design. HOWEVER they were protruding so that I could not thread them all the way on. Upon finding the proper sized Allen wrench, I was able to finagle them loose enough to thread the next end on, and then tighten them back in to hold – which works perfectly. It is a royal pain to do, though, as there is little clearance. Once done, though, it is VERY secure and holds my GoPro very nicely.

A ball-ended Allen wrench and INSTRUCTIONS would be a very beneficial addition.

I have an extremely lightweight top down camera mounted on this stand & it works perfect with it.
I haven’t mounted a DSLR to it because I firmly believe it won’t hold it. It’s made of decent material. The problem with this stand, is that the tightening mechanism at each of the adjustment points cannot be tightened enough to hold the stand in place very well.

Feels solid, looks good, and locks well. The included thread size adapters work, but feel kinda crappy and probably won’t last. I’m using it to mount a fifine k688 mic, which isn’t too heavy, so I can’t really elaborate on what it’ll hold. I am noticing a small amount of blue-green corrosion in the joints, but it just wipes off and hasn’t become a problem yet.

I love this mount. It attached to my desk easily, and is plenty sturdy enough to put my Sony full-frame camera with a heavy lens.

The VIJIM LS11 is virtually identical to the SmallRIg DT-30 in terms of material, construction, design, dimensions , stability, etc. Both are made in China, most likely by the same manufacturer. The SmallRig DT-30 comes with a small, nylon carrying case that is too small and near useless. The LS11 doesn’t come witht the case. Both have identical desktop clamps and both have three identical vertical tube sections that can be adjusted for same height. Both have a 1/4″ screw mount ball joint on the top section for your camera or projector. Both come with an extra horizontal arm about a foot long that can be clamped onto the lower tube section or the middle tube section (but not the top 3rd vertical section). This limits the height of the horizontal arm adjustment from 0-24 inches off the desktop. But here is the key difference – the LS11 horizontal arm comes with two separable sections whereas the DT-30 horizontal arm is a fixed length design. One can screw the extra horizontal extension arm on the LS11 screws into the ball joint on the end of the first horizontal section to give extra horizontal extension. Moreover, the extra arm extension can also be screwed into the ball joint at the top of the third vertical section. This gives the LS11 about an extra 11″ in total vertical height over the DT-30 (45″ versus 34″); or alternately, it allows you to have a second horizontal arm. In short, the LS11 does exactly everything the DT-30 does but also offers almost a foot more adjustment in height or horizontal reach. Using just the first section of the LS11 or DT-30 horizontal arm is very stable and easily supported my 1.5 lb projector. Adding on the second 10″ horizontal section onto the LS11 was still ultimately stable with the projector but it had a little initial wobble. Max rating is 2.2 lbs on either the LS11 or DT-30 horizontal arm. I believe that you can safely load 2.2 lbs on either DT30 or LS11 if you are only using the single horizontal section. With two horizontal sections, hanging 2.2 lbs on the LS11 seems doable but a little dicey. There is one small final difference between the two designs. The LS11 first extension tube screws into the desk clamp whereas the the first extension tube on the DT-30 is welded to the clamp. I found no difference in performance or stability. In short, the LS11 is virtually identical to the DT-30 in dimensions, material, paint, and quality. The LS11 and Dt30 perform identically with a single horizontal arm. However, the extra horizontal extension arm that comes with the LS11 gives it added height options and horizontal extension options.

This stand is made of primarily aluminum and is not plastic like most other stands. The assembly is super easy; all that needs to happen is twisting the base into the bottom of the stand. The product comes in two pieces, the base that attaches to the table and the rest of the stand.

The main reason I was drawn to this stand is that the head where your item attaches to the stand is completely rotatable. This makes it a perfect stand for lighting if you have a small business and need to take photos, for stream lighting, for holding a camera while you work on a flat table, and possibly many other applications.

Yes, there are other cheaper stands on Amazon but most all of them do not have a rotatable attachment point. Other stands are just the screw point on top of a pole leaving your attached accessory facing forward at whatever height you purchase, which in my opinion, is not very useful.

Build quality is better than expected at the $30 price point and nothing is loose when attaching your accessory or to the table.

I do wish this was slightly cheaper as I needed 2 for my setup, but I know I will get the value back over time from using this stand. 2 of these stand is still cheaper than buying 1 elgato stand at their normal retail price.

The stability and build of this thing are top notch. Exactly what I was hoping for

The product did exactly as described. It easily held my Panasonic g9 in place to produce a top down shot.
