Product Description

Now you can get those pictures or videos with artistic angles, mounts to almost anything and everything. Your Imagination is the Limit!

This compact clamp is made in the USA, VERY well built, small enough to fit in you pocket.

It allows a camera or camcorder that has a tripod mount, to be solidly attached to a table, car window, handlebar, skateboard, hand glider, tree branch, park bench, shopping cart, so on and so forth (you get the idea), using a standard 1/4"-20 threaded quick connect screw, just like any camera tripod. Strong enough for most cameras or camcorders, it attaches to either round or flat objects from 0" to 1.5" thick, with rubber on both sides of the clamp, it will not scratch or slip. It utilizes a ball and socket mount to allow the camera maximum flexibility in framing the subject.

4 out of 5 stars Handy little clamp   April 1, 2010
J. Johnson (Auburn, CA USA)
I bought this with a little Sanyo Xacti camera, so one of the very small video cameras. I bought it because it was small, inexpensive, and versatile. There are two minor things I would change, which is why it didn't get a 5/5 star rating.
1) I wish it had ball joints on the "neck" to allow for easier swiveling of the camera.
2) (And this is related to 1) I wish they made the clamp below the neck with the small pin that swivels the neck easier to rotate.

I think both of these changes could potentially have the downside of making the unit less stable. By not using ball joints and having a pin in place on one of the clamps, it really makes this clamp feel very secure when tightened down. I plan to do some basic shooting on vacations and family events, but I also plan to get creative with this, so it will be fun.

Recommend!

Very handy and easy to use. I had searched for a while for a suitable clamp for lightweight camcorders and this is as close to ideal as I've found. It's easy to use and inexpensive as well.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2X1UXLPVG0GH4 Mounted on the rear fender with a compact digital video camera, nothing exciting about the video, except for the song, it is mainly to show how sturdy the clamp is.
