Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not durable, more difficult to assemble than the competition.

First off, if your budget is $60 and you absolutely can't spend the extra $30 on a better weapon set, then this might not be the worst choice. Cons: First, the assembly is rough. The steps they recommend you should be changed to make things easier. Second, they feel incredibly wobbly and unstable due to their construction. Tightening the screws at the junction between the arms or brackets on the bracket does not improve the situation. No matter how tense they were, their arms still hung a little. They don't fall out of nests or anything, but they aren't as solid as they should be. My opinion is that the individual arms are attached to the base as is. This severely limits their positional skills. I ended up sending them back just for the way they rock and I settled on a $30 extra Huanuo arm set, both attached to the same brace that also allows for lateral movement. Fourth, cable management compartments are so difficult to manage. It's hard to explain, but you have a removable plastic tray under each arm that you have to run cables along and then press against the underside of the arm and try to screw them back in place. Sounds easy, but it's more work than implementation. Costs. Overall the build including wiring took about an hour and a half while the single arm I got for my wife from Huanuo took about 15 minutes and it works and feels better. The others I mentioned I bought yesterday and today I put them together in less than 45 minutes and the cable management method may not be perfect but it's a million times easier to use so there are way better ways to do it . Heck, taking some zip ties and tying cables around those levers would be easier and make more sense. Pros: However, I will say that the dual USB port at the base is really cool, but it just isn't worth the poor quality of the whole system. Anyway, if you're on a tight budget and can't afford a 50% price increase to get a 200% higher quality set then these will certainly do the job, they just felt a bit too crappy for my preference. . EDIT: After reading this I looked at the actual price difference, the ones I bought from Huanuo were only $10 more so definitely spring for them. $10 isn't much of a difference when you're skipping so many tiers of quality.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Hard to say
