OVERVIEW
Description
The Slik Creator’s Kit bundles three popular Slik products that function together as a complete support system for creators in the studio as well as in the field.
The Creator’s Kit includes:
- Creator’s Clamp
- Sliding Arm II
- SBH-400AS Ball Head
About the Creator's Clamp:
The Slik Creator’s Clamp gives creators maximum flexibility in their setups. This universal clamp is great for attaching cameras, phones, tablets or other small studio accessories up to 4.4 lbs. with the sliding pole or up to 11 lbs. directly attaching to the clamp port.
Use the clamp to fasten your attachments to anything up to 3 inches wide. The reversible surface adapter allows you to clamp to flat and round surfaces such as desktops, rails, poles or branches. An included hex key allows you to quickly convert from flat to round surfaces.
Equipped with the clamp is a removable 17” sliding pole to move your camera up and down or extend it from the center fulcrum. The pole comes with a U1/4 20” thread to mount to almost any ball head as well as a U3/8” thread adapter just in case. The dual accessory ports allow you to hook up a second attachment to the clamp.
The included ball head adapter allows you to remove the sliding pole and attach a heavier camera setup directly to the clamp. The clamp is easy to setup and use with tactile knobs and the lightweight design makes it easy to travel with.
About the Sliding Arm II:
The professional Sliding Arm II is a universal mini-boom that works with almost any tripod that can have the head removed. It allows creators access to multiple unique angles and vantage points not possible with a traditional tripod and head setup.
The arm is connected to a fulcrum that allows rotation, tilt and slide for free movement in almost any direction. The arm extends up to 19.5” from the tripod's center column to capture "lay-flat" overhead perspectives useful for vlogging, video tutorials, macro photography and more. To position the camera, the sliding arm features 2 knobs. One controls the slide and the other controls rotation and angle. A hook is included, opposite the head, to attach a counterweight (not sold by Slik) for increased stability as the arm extends away from the tripod's center of gravity.
The versatility of the Sliding Arm makes it a great companion for product photographers, v-loggers, studio professionals and amateur enthusiasts searching for new perspectives.
About the SBH-400AS:
The compact professional Slik SBH-400AS ball head is a lightweight, low-profile head with an independent pan lock knob. The low-profile quick release plates may be left on the camera and won’t hinder vertical shooting. The cam lock quick release system allows users to attach the camera from the top of the platform without sliding in or out of the grooves.
Weighing just .6 lbs, the SBH-400AS ball head supports up to 8.8 lbs. of gear. The head is capable of handling a professional DSLR with standard lens. The head also has a separate lock with degree markings around the base for stitching together panoramic photos. The head to tripod connection is a standard U3/8" thread and comes with a U1/4 20" thread adapter to mount to your tripod legs of choice.

I bought 2! I bought the first one about 2 years ago during the pandemic. Such a well-designed product. I was also just ordered the second one, and received it yesterday for my studio! Awesome!
The Creator's Studio Kit is very sturdy, well made hardware. It is easy to set up and easy to use. In my opinion, speaking as an engineer, it is well-designed and exhibits good fabrication and attention to details. I like it a lot. Glad I bought it, and I expect to use it a lot.
Great a variety of uses. From camera stand to streaming. Very well made to stabilize a camera or phone.
Excellent piece of gear This thing is awesome. Can put it into many different positions and angles. Will accomodate even heavier gear on it. Great for VLOGGING to get overhead shots. Highly recommend.
Solid & Flexible This is a well-made and solid piece of equipment. Each component does its job well, and the whole thing is a joy to use. Adjustment is easy, and once set, the unit is solid. The only thing I could wish for would be a soft case for location shoots, but I'm mostly using this in my studio.
Great purchase This is very well made and is working great for me. It works great for me.
One of the BEST investments! As an avid food photographer and videographer, this tool has changed my life! Even though it doesn't come with a phone holder, you can easily buy a compatible one. So happy I purchased this kit!!
Awesome!!!! Perfect for creating videos of my fly tying. Setting up my tripod is a pain and hard to get into position but the arm lets me easily get the camera into position on my tying bench.
needs a phone holder Need to inlcude a holder for my phone. Other than that it works well.
Store owner replied: Hi Vikki, thanks for the review. We agree, a phone holder would be another helpful tool in this kit. Like we respnded previously, we are working on it. Trying to create one that does not break any patents but that is a lot harder than we thought it would be. Unlike Chinese manufacturers we respect other companies patents.
Well made Very useful and well made. Highly recommended!!!
Great for my home business I use this for my jewlery business and it makes taking pictures and videos so much easier. They are easy to use and take up very little room in my small studio.
Just missing one thing Great tool but wish it had a holder for my iPhone

Everything I needed I like that I can use all the pieces together to seperately. Each piece is well made and useful.
