Great product, strong

Works great, the grip is strong and easy to adjust. I use this, among a few other attachments, to attach different items onto my desks.

Worked great for 2" pipe holding backdrop

I got two of these to hold up a backdrop on some c stands. Worked great, I needed quite a bit of weight on the stand base and these worked like a champ on 2" pvc

Matthews 6" Card is a great tool.

Large jawed Cardellini which is more useful than you would imagine. Instead of breaking out a studded c clamp for all of the times you need a to mount a flag, net, small light, etc off of a hefty piece of wood, concrete or steel, this lets you do it more easily. And it won't mar the surface the way a c clamp does.

Recommend for many uses!

Great buy! Awesome quality, as always. I have been using it to hold a bar with a backdrop on it, but it has a lot more potential than that.

Matte Black & Multipurpuse

Very versatile clamp. Grips tight. The inside rubber is light gray and is good for clamping onto C-stands and not worrying about it sliding on a pole. I like the knurled pin to prevent rotation. The size is very versatile to clamp on anything from a card to a piece of plywood or onto a c-stand or tether table. Anytime you need to either add a pin to a surface or add a pin to a grip head/arm. I like the black finish so there's no extra light bounce for table top product shot. Finish is more satin than 'chrome' as the name assumes glossy. I have two of them.

Clamp of clamps

Always outstanding products from Matthews. Clamp of a thousand uses. Built like a tank. Grips the way it should. Best for supporting scrims etc. but great for holding just about anything with a flat or tube edge. Expensive as usual but lasts forever.

Necessary tool for photographers & videographers alike

The Matthelini is an amazing tool that lets you attach a light to almost anything! It's also great at holding reflectors/board off of a c-stand or knuckle.
