The positive reviews agree with you. The holding force of the articulated arm is better than expected: compact cameras are kept absolutely secure. Jokingly I had already SLR cameras it and accordingly tightened Sterngriff even these are kept. Then the whole thing springs though in a little but there is I think not think so.
The currently around 15 euros are a super price. As you get elsewhere grad mal NEN hot shoe adapter with connecting sleeve for. A fine piece of photographic equipment that I do not want to miss. Very strong buy recommendation from me
