I wanted to mount the SmallHD 592 on my fs7 but I can't afford a $200 Noga Cine Arm right now, especially after investing all my savings into the camera, the monitor, and a ronin, haha.

Is there any alternative to the Noga cine arm with the same quality and length... But much much cheaper?? I assume there has to be a knockoff somewhere haha.

Thanks guys.
 
Thanks for that! BUT, still a little bit much for what I'm looking to spend right now for a cine arm. Eventually I plan to upgrade it when I get some income again, but for now, do you guys think that these will be somewhat as good/reliable - also are they as long as the Noga cine versions??

I own both and the F&V one is exponentially better than the el cheapo one. In fact to the point of being excellent value over the cheaper one - it being worth far more than 3-4 times the price. It just works like a cine arm is supposed to. The cheaper one has always felt and acted like a budget compromise. I totally understand when funds are tight and if you cannot stretch to it you cannot stretch to it, but if you can stretch to something as practical and useful as a 502 don't then hamstring yourself with a mounting solution that will cause you no end of grief with it undoing and not staying tightened for the sake of the price of a couple of pizzas.
