Questions & Answers

ERIN W : Does this work to hold a speed light?ROB C : You need an adapter, which is provided as add-ons with most reputable speed lights.WILLIAM A : Yes, with the addition of a flash holder, such as the Pottix Varos Pro S: https://<a href="http://www.adorama.com/ph87200.html" target="_blank">www.adorama.com/ph87200.html</a> The Phottix below is, by far, the best in its class. I use a number of these with speedlights for weddings, and they are invaluable!Brooke M : Withe the 1/4 20 thread and a hot shoe, yes. It could hold half of a hammock with you in it.TOM T : it does with an adaptor female hot shoe with stud. Shape female universal adaptorDONNY C : Yes, when combined with https://<a href="http://www.adorama.com/nkas22.html" target="_blank">www.adorama.com/nkas22.html</a> or similar to hold the speedlight on the standard stud.FRANK T : Yes, thats what I use them for.
Erick S : Stud can be removed to screw something else like an arm?KERRY S : Of course the stud removes. The Super Clamp system utilizes a whole collection of studs or accessories with built in studs that fit into the socket in the Super Clamp. There are arms both flexible and rigid that have attached studs. Your question leads me to believe you are not familiar with the stud system. One does not "screw" something to a Super Clamp. There are studs with various standard threads, male or female to which attachments may be "screwed". Pick the proper stud for the application. The pictured stud has a 1/4" x 20 male threaded end atop a standard 5/8" theatrical/photographic lighting spud/stud. The socket in the Super Clamp accepts either a standard 5/8' lighting spud or the Manfrotto hex indexed stud (which is the bottom portion of the pictured stud). Try a search on Adorama's site for "stud" to view the many configurations, many of which work with the Super Clamp.JEFF L : Yes it can, the stud doesn't actually screw in though.KEVIN S : The stud as shown can be removed from the super clamp. The stud is all one piece however, so the threaded end is not removable from itself. Hope that answers your question. You would need something else if you needed a female threaded end.ANDRE E : YesKENNETH N : yes, you can add something like a magic arm, or anything with a 5/8 pin from any other vendor
VIKKI M : Can this clamp be used with Flashpoint 11" articulating arm?KERRY S : The Flashpoint arm lists a configuration with female 1/4" x 20 at one end. I presume that to be the base end. The Manfrotto Super Clamp with standard stud comes with a 1/4" x 20 male thread on the stud. There are shorter studs available with 1/4" x 20 male thread that are flush with the Super Clamp. The Super Clamp would work very well as a base for the articulated arm, especially with the shorter stud. Pick the right stud and there is no doubt it will work. If you are trying to mount the Super Clamp on the other end of the arm, it simply is too heavy for the arm, but it could be done.JOSH B : From what I can see in the arm photo, it should work just fine (granted the arm diameter is large enough for the Super Clamp to make good contact). The Super Clamp has held onto just about any surface I've put it on. As long as they still come with the flat-surface insert you will be able to clamp it to any rectangular or cylindrical surface. *Note: the clamp is quite heavy and may be more than the arm can handle.JIM C : The Super Clamp accepts a 5/8" diameter rod/stud. The Flashpoint articulating arm is meant to attach to the hot shoe of a DSLR camera. You would need to buy a Hotshoe to 1/4-20 adapter, then a stud that has 1/4-20 female thread and a 5/8" OD. Only then could you attach the articulating arm to the clamp.KENNETH E : I think it bcan be used with just about anything that has an exposed surface to which it can be attached

Super Clamps for the win!

Sturdy, well made. Easy to install. I?m using on an auto pole for a backdrop. Waiting on extension arms for lights. This set-up has given me four additional feet of shooting space. This would not be possible with out these super clamps.

Super Clamp

These things are awesome. From holding lights, grip and just about anything else. You can also get the short stud and mount a ball head to it and have an urban tripod that can clamp to railings, doors, tables and just about anything else. Perfect for places where they don’t allow tripods.

Where have these things been all of my life.

I make YouTube videos in a blacksmith shop. Tripods are nice, but are generally in the way. Having the ability to clamp a magic arm to a bench )or bar bolted to the wall just for the purpose) clears the walking space and opens up so many new camera positions and placements. But be warned, you'll want several.

Dream come true

I really like these. They are perfect for safely mounting just about anything anywhere. I primarily use them to mount strobes up high and out of the reach of children. The only gripe if have is that the "saddle" doesn't have a good home when not in use so I keep losing them. Also, the handle should be one that you can pull out and adjust the position to get a better grip on it, but it doesn't do that.

Great versatile clamps

These are just super handy clamps, I use them to lower my lights' center of gravity by mounting them to the base of the light stand and using extension heads instead of having my entire ad600 and ad600pro's on top of the stands. It makes my lights so much more resilient to wind, even with 40" softboxes.

Great product but has a flaw

I've used the 035RL for many years. They are a vital part of many studio and location equipment sets. The only problem I've experienced is that the v shaped and flat rubber grips come off way to easy. Often sticking to the surface of the pole the clamp was mounted to. Out of four clamps, only one set of rubber pads remain. The other three clamps are now paperweights and I can't find replacement pads. Manfrotto, please rescue me! Have a busy spring and summer ahead! Need these and don't really want to buy new ones because the rubber fell off. Oh, that sounds bad.

Solid build quality with a wide range of uses

The Manfroto Super Clamp has withstood the test of time... not to mention all of the abuse I can throw at it. Decades before GoPro cameras, I used one of these clamps to mount a 35mm waterproof camera to the top of a windsurfing mast and built a trigger system that let me take photos from that unique vantage point while sailing on oceans, lakes and rivers. My first clamp survived exposure to all of the elements... sand, salt and water... and works as well now as it did the day I bought it. I also use a short stud to mount a ball head to the clamp... giving me a whole new range of potential shoot locations and situations.

Best Gadet in Gadget Bag

Tried one. Bought more. Clamps to just about anything to get flash in any position. I use these mostly in the woods and they're priceless. Overall build quality impressive. Easy to use. Kinda' heavy but worth it, IMHO. Would give it 5 stars but the storage of the clamp shim under the thumb screw could use some reworking. Falls out easily and a bit cumbersome to babysit when not in use. That's more of a suggestion than a complaint.

Solid and Dependable

A very stable base for my Manfrotto Magic Arm. Used primarily for a tabletop setup for small product and food photography, this clamp is easy to use and can dependably hold lights and small modifiers with ease. A no-brainer when it comes to a reliable tabletop studio.

I now own 2 and wished I had 10

This is my 2nd Bogen Super Clamp and really do wished I had more. What I like most about it is being able to put a flash in places that I can't put a flash stand. It can be mounted to the leg of an existing stand to direct light or highlight parts of a subject. It easily mounts to bars or pipes to get a flash up high where there is not room for a light stand or c-stand. It's small, portable and easily transportable. What more can you ask.

Solid!

I bought this product for a safari in Africa. I was planning to clamp it to the posts of the Range Rover for wildlife shots. Product was too heavy on top of the rest of my gear. So, I stuck with my tripod. Excellent product though. I just did not factor in the weight issue.

Great for Everything!

I love this clamp! It can be used for so many different situations if you use your imagination. I've used this clamp for everything from hanging my camera at the bottom of my tripod to hanging my flash on a door to mounting a small video camera on my mountain bike and blasting down the trail. It's built super tough and solid and it has a lot of gripping power. If you're in need of a good clamp that works, this one will get it done!

The original - still popular for reason

By Brian

This is a professional piece of photography gear and very useful. While you can get a cheaper one that will still function, it's a question of hassle. The stud and triangular insert both stay in easily on this one - which I can't say for some others. Also, it doesn't smell like paint.
