A wonderful Magic clamp, great reach and flexibility.
Today I'm reviewing this multi-function super clamp mount by K&F concept,

We'll do a quick unboxing. On the inside of the box, we have a small Allen wrench and two rubber O-rings in a baggie. I see a GoPro mount and a cell phone mount/clamp, and the super clamp itself.
This feels lightweight and I like the orange color that K&F concept has chosen to use. I'm not sure I'm a fan of the rubber gaskets on the balls. I'm not sure if this will make for a stronger connection or weaker connection, only time will tell. I do like how it is spring loaded. The end of the magic arm is 1/4"-twenty and can be moved to one of several holes on the super clamp if one works better for you.
Compared to my other clamps I like how this clamp stays the width you set so no accidental pinching should happen. As you can see this clamp is similar in size to one my favorites but has a longer reach and in my mind this thumb screw is a game changer.
After using clamp for a bit, I prefer the reach of this clamp which allows me to get further away from the pole this is mounted to. I will say, like a lot of these clamps, they struggle to get a good grip on flat surfaces. I would only recommend using these to mount on a pole or rounded surface. If I had to say something negative, it may be that there are only 1/4-twenty holes, most of my other clamps also have 3/8" holes.
For the light I'm mounting this had no problems at full stretch, I shook the pole and no movement at all. So, plenty of grip and these gaskets are holding up so far.
In my opinion, at the time of this review this clamp is about $25. At that price this is a steal in my opinion, the list price is $30, and at that price I still feel it is a fair value. I would recommend this as long as you just need the quarter-twenty mount. This thumb screw is the best in my mind, it's so much better than having to twist the whole mount or the light that I'm mounting.
I'm going to rate this five out of five stars.

Pros
- Good reach
- 1/4" thumb screw works great for keeping position while tightening
- Great grip on poles and rounded surfaces
- Reasonably lightweight at 8 ounces with clamp and magic arm.

Cons
- Not the best grip on flat surfaces
- Rubber gasket longevity is a concern on balls of magic arm
- No 3/8" holes
