Bogen 237HD Review by Brian S Crouch

Recently purchased a heavy duty Manfrotto Flex Arm. I just ordered my second one after realizing how versatile this will be in placing Nikon Speedlights on a photo set. This Flex Arm connects to a standard Manfrotto 3/8s male spigot. The 5001B Nano stand comes with a 3/8's male spigot at the end of it. So I have paired that super light-weight stand with this Flex Arm and now my SB-900's or SB-800's can be placed just about anywhere, and at any angle.
Sweet!

I also have some Manfrotto clamps that can accept a Flex Arm with a 3/8's spigot adapter. The spigot adapter is sold separately (Grrrrrr.....).

You might not need the heavy duty version of this for my application... but I don't mind paying a few bucks more for something as sold as this. I have not attempted to hold a camera body with this yet.... Something to go experiment with in a controlled setting.

THis is the second time I ordered this product. I use this to attach a PC Camera to it. Very useful product but it seems to have quality problems? The end screw that bolts into a clamp is a bit loose causing the camera to rotate.


Bogen 237HD Review by MiRSD

Seeing the image of this item doesn't quite do it justice - I was expecting it to be a relatively compact, flexible arm (despite the "Heavy Duty" tag on it). I was pretty impressed when it came and was as heavy, thick and tough as it was. The arm itself is almost an inch thick throughout, almost 2 feet long, more than a pound and a half and very tough.

I bought this based on the information that it can hold 1.1 LBs - figuring this would hold a speedlight and not be TOO difficult to twist around.

It can definitely hold a speedlight - I'd imagine it can even hold a DSLR (But I'm not about to try it!) - the thing is, and I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, the thing is REALLY tough and a bit hard to bend (it needs some force - you'll need 2 hands to bend it). This is both a good thing (it won't bend on it's own!) but a negative if you need to do anything more than slight bends, or need to quickly adjust the angle.

One end has a standard stud-end for a Superclamp (with a 3/8" threaded hole, so you can attach it on top of a lightstand tip). The other end has a threaded 1/4" tip (to attach something like a wireless trigger for a flash).

The great thing about this is that while it's heavy, it gives some great flexibility (no pun intended). While you can always superclamp a flash to a railing, you're somewhat limited on it's angle/direction. This lets you superclamp a flash to a railing and position it EXACTLY how you need it.. angled, straight up, straight down, bend around, etc.. Sometimes the length is a bit too much (at close to 2 feet, you sometimes wish it were just a few inches). It's not the lightest thing to carry (superclamp + arm = 2 lbs), but compared to a lightstand and ballhead, it's much nicer.

I've been a bit mixed on it.. I like the extra flexibility it gives me, the light-weight (in comparison to a lightstand) and small size.. but on the opposite, wish it were a bit shorter and more flexible. It's one of those things you just can't win on, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and recommend it. It's the best option out there that I've found, it's sturdy/secure and does its job.
