The bad news is that the ballhead and quickrelease is complete garbage, and barely holds a camera. You have to tighten it very tight and then it still slips unless you balance your camera delicately at the point of equilibrium, at which point there's no benefit to having a ball head, just give me a 1/4" screw mount. (Well, technically there are three stable angles, balanced on top, and flopped all the way over forwards and backwards, but come on...)
Anyway, the good news is that if you get the ANDYCINE Viper Magic Arm, Double Ball Heads , it fits perfectly onto the ballhead at the end of this arm once you remove the garbage quickrelease. So I'm actually quite happy with this product, but am giving 3 stars because the double ballhead is basically the same price as the arm, so it doubles the price. The attached photo shows what it looks like when you use the ANDYCINE double ball head.

The gooseneck itself is extremely strong and sturdy; it takes a significant amount of force to bend it, and it will not move or sag once it's been positioned. It ends with a ball joint that can be freely adjusted and securely tightened by its ring, and a quick-release screw mount like you find on most cameras: a small piece attaches to the bottom of the camera and then snaps into the mount platform.
I purchased this product to mount my Vivitek Qumi LED projector to the headboard of my bed; I did not want a permanent mount which would have required drilling holes in the wall, but I needed something that was at the same time very sturdy, hard to move, but flexible and easy to adjust. I also did not want to spend a fortune.
The Arkon delivered on all counts. It's very sturdy, and I would not hesitate to entrust it with my DSLR. Once you set it in place and tighten it, it won't move. My only regret is that I didn't find out about it sooner! Recommended.
This thing is STURDY. Zero concerns about my camera coming loose or unwanted arm flexing. If anything, be warned that adjusting the arm will take some serious effort, but completely worth it if you have nice gear at the end that you want locked in place.
Not sure why it was so hard to find such a sturdy mounting arm; if this is in your budget and its length is adequate, this is the mounting arm to get.

However, the pin in the clamp itself is not as heavy duty as the rest of the product, so it failed after a few weeks of use.
The company was kind enough to replace the entire thing past the returns period but I am cautious to use it as advertised as placing an expensive camera on this stand could result in a very costly accident.
If you're not going to move it at all once placed then it could be fine, but not if you will be screwing and unscrewing the clamp as needed.
EDIT: I recieved the new Clamps less than 24 hours after requesting for a replacement. These ones came with all of the necessary parts and they're holding up just fine!
