[Jaw] Works great. Will be using this on every shoot.

[Jaw] It's a cardellini clamp. You either have none of these, or lots of them -- different sizes and configurations.


I wanted black ones ... in different sizes and configurations. I also wanted the best of the best, so I trusted my clamp needs to Matthews.


It just ... works. It does what I need it to do, every time. I have yet to come across a situation where these clamps cannot handle the task at hand, or where I have to spend any extra energy coming up with a creative solution. Instead, I just clamp, clamp, clamp, mount my gear, and everyone is happy.


This is quality and functionality you can depend on.

[Silver] Built like a tank. Solves problems all the time. Fast, strong, love it.

[1.49 lb] In addition holding lights etc. it's great for holding a mic boom pole, in combination with a grip head and light stand, on set when working alone as a videographer and sound man. I've also used this same combination of clamp, grip head and stand to hold an umbrella to shade a camera on out door shoots. Very well made. I'm sure it will last a long time.

[Jaw] I clamp anything to anything else with these. Love them. Holds well on slippery surfaces, easy to use, strong as hell.

[Silver] To me, cardellini's are always more reliable than mafers. This Matthellini style cardellini clamp is no exception. I'm confident hanging Kino Flo and 1k's from this clamp. It's size makes it easy to put in smaller areas. Matthews is also one of the top grip equipment companies, so you're getting a great product.

[Jaw] Externally versatile.

[Jaw] I now have a matching pair of Matthews Matthellini Clamps. But I could use some more of these clamps. It works great!!

[Metal] I needed something to hold my Scrim Jim, strobes, etc. and this does the job well. It adjusts very fast and holds tight. I like these better than the super clamps. The inside of the clamps is very rough and similar to a grip tape or stair tread material but more corse. One good spin on the handle and it will adjust all the way to the top. This is also much faster than the super clamp.
