Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Hi, do the letters RL mean that the clamp has a ratchet handle?

A: Manfrotto has 4 versions of the Super Clamp with the Ratchet handle. The only differences are if the stud is included or not, & what particular stud. This 035RL Super Clamp includes a Standard Stud.

Q: 2. What is the difference between What is the difference between this clamp and a regular 035 that makes it worth $14.38 more? The specs are identical except for the virtual having a 3/8-16 thread instead of 1/4-20, when the photo shows a 1/4 inch thread.

A: This product features compatibility with Manfrotto's Virtual Reality Extension Boom products, a 3/8" thread, and will clamp onto slightly wider items (up to 2.2" wide vs. 2.1" for the 035).

Q: 3. Does it come with the stud shown?

A: Yes

Q: 4. What is the maximum shear force allowable on the sides of the 5/8" end of the stud? I'm concerned it will snap off at the base with 10lbs. weight (my setup) exerted on the sides of the stud. The clamp will be mounted on a vertical metal pole in a copy stand setup.

A: The clamp can hold up to 33 lbs. If using the 1/4" threads as the connect to what is being mounted to the clamp, a load of no more than 2-4 lbs is recommended.

Q: 5. The center hole is 1/4"-20. The two horizontal threaded holes are some other size. The two vertical holes are not threaded. Outside of the 1/4"-20 center hole uses, what accessories use these patterns?

A: The smaller holes on the back of the Super Clamp allow you to connect accessories to the Super Clamp. As an example, when holding multiple backgrounds on an autopole using a Super Clamp, you may connect the Manfrotto 045 Background Triple Hooks for Three Backgrounds (Box of 2), B&H # MA045, or the Impact Background Triple Hooks - Pair (Black), B&H # IMVPDH3W, via hex screws, or you may connect a single background hook such as the Impact ME-122P Single Background Holder Hooks for Super Clamps (2-Pack), B&H # IMME122P, which may be inserted into the hexagonal 5/8" hole on the back of the unit. There may be other accessories that would also work with the attachment points on a Super Clamp, but the ones listed above would be the popular ones and the ones we carry. We do also carry Super Clamp options that have a grip head connected to the Super Clamp, or connects two Super Clamps together.

Q: 6. What diameter are the screw holes on the bottom ? Are they all the same diameter ?

A: it is 1/4-20

Q: 7. is it possible to connect the super clamp to a pro microphone with flexible stand to put it on a speaker ?

A: If this clamp would fit for your application depends on whether the stand is within the jaw size of the clamp and whether the speaker has the proper attachments to the clamp.

Q: 8. What's the Maximum weight limit?

A: Avenger does not list the support weight of the Avenger C1550 Heavy Duty Super Clamp. But like most they are all about 30 lbs support weight maximum.

Q: 9. How can I clamp 5d Mark 4 using this clamp.??

A: My suggestion would be a 208HEX Head Mounting Plate and a small ball head such as a 496RC2.

Q: 10. I want to use this as a subsitute to my tripod when shooting with my Lumix G85. What other accessories will I need to do that. Can I attach an arca plate directly on this?

A: While I may recommend purchasing a ball head (such as the Benro IH2 Single Action Ball Head, B&H # BEIH2SAB) so you could position the camera on the clamp, I would recommend the Oben QRA-A2 Quick Release Assembly with QR-10 Plate, B&H # OBQRAA2, along with the Impact Short Double Male Stud for Super Clamps with 1/4"-20 & 3/8" Threads, B&H # IMSRP104, for your usage needs. This would allow you to connect the Oben QRA-A2 (which is Arca-compatible) directly to the Impact Super Clamp with Ratchet Handle.
