Manfrotto 035 Super Clamp without Stud (#035)

For photo and video work, you can never have too many super clamps. I use them for mounting lights, iPads, and cameras. There are cheaper versions of the Manfrotto out there but I always come back to the original and have never had one fail. The versatility of the grip on round and flat surfaces is excellent without any slipping and you can really crank down on them when needed to get a sturdy hold.

I've been using the Manfrotto brand grip Eqpt. for the past 35+ years because it is the best and it never breaks (unless seriously abused).Don't buy the cheap knockoffs.

Hard to beat the original. These are super versatile and allow you attach camera/lighting/music equipment on anything the jaws can swallow. I have a bunch of them and can always find a use. Best paired with a magic arm!

For this price you're paying for the name brand. Yes, it's heavy duty and does what it's supposed to but for the price they could have made a ratcheting handle. I have other generic brand super clamps that come with a spigot and ratcheting handle for $8 less. It's not about the money difference but the ratcheting handle can be a bigger deal when you have several clamps on the same rod/pole. I'd buy the generic versions again without hesitation.

I'm using the super clamps to hold the manfrotto 244 arms with the camera attachment to hold up my split keyboard as replacements to the arms of my Razor Enki chair. The chair is nearly perfect for relaxing minus the arms which are wobbly anyway. now I can type and damn near lay back with all of my rested hands weight on this clamp system. I've been trying since january to get a solid captains chair and i believe Ive finally completed my mission with these clamps and arms and a little wedge of wood i milled to get the full weight of the jaw.the clamp is much wider than I would have thought. Like an inch and a half wide, so be aware of that if you want to use it for the same purpose, but this thing is rated at 30 lbs so it makes sense why its so heavy and wide.

The clamp is great. However, Amazon, not so great in this situation. To Amazon: if you are going to send me a package that has been opened and poorly reassembled, you should at least offer an opened merchandise discount.

Super strong and sturdy clamp! I use it with my Manfrotto 396B- 3 3 Section Double Articulated Arm and it works great. It holds everything in place so well that I leave my setup along with my Canon DSLR in place until I am ready for my next shoot. I highly recommend and I may be getting another soon.

I am physically disabled, cannot walk without the use of a walker and often have to use a wheelchair. I attached the superclamp to the handle of my walker, added the Manfrotto standard stud with a 3/8" screw, to which I added the Manfrotto 438 camera leveler, to which I added the Manfrotto 502AH video head (see the second picture). And all of this is strong enough for me to slide in my video camera rig consisting of the Z Cam E2, a good Voigtländer lens, the BM5 monitor/controller, and even a battery to power it all (see the first picture). I can use it to shoot video while sitting on the seat of the walker, as well as while walking with the help of the walker (the video head handle allows me to face the camera in any direction).Next, I will do the same for my wheelchair (thankfully, I bought two of these superclamps, so I can leave one attached to the walker and the other to the wheelchair and just move everything else between them as needed).
