The gooseneck does seem very durable as does the bracket. Bracket screws are plastic but the bracket seems very stable and it fit well over the edge of a Trigger Systems sump. I mounted an H80 to it. When the ends are screwed into the bracket and the light, the light is more perpendicular or diagonal to the surface of the water. I was able to bend it most the way level but couldn't make it level with loosening one or the other ends resulting in wobbling from one side to the other. I added a small gasket I cut from a thin, strong, plastic notepad cover and it fixed that issue.

I purchased the Gooseneck with an H80 and I am very glad I did! It is solid built and very easy to attach and use

I like how heavy and sturdy this goose neck feels but, for the smaller tanks it's designed for it is too stiff or too long to get the light close enough to the water, to prevent a bunch of light to spill out of the tank. Also the lack of anyway to cable manage other then zip ties left a lot to be desired.

Quality product. I am using it with a Kessil A80 on a 40 Breeder. Just the correct height and placement.

Can be stiff, especially if you're trying to get a 90 degree bend, but it held it's position well. No issues with either side of the mount (to the light and to the tank).

If you're using the a80,, it'll be hard to beat the cost and product build of this gooseneck. Enough said
