Digital camera reviews of Bogen - Manfrotto Super Clamp with Standard Stud (#2900)
Digital camera Review: Durable, reliable, great clamp
Summary: 4 Stars
but not exactly what I was looking for. With this clamp you limit yourself to desks, doors, squared poles, I think I'll be using it to mount my 580ex but not my DSLR. Hard to get the DSLR in good position vertically, so I'll be purchasing a gorillapod for that. Still a good product for what it is.
Digital camera Review: Great for Travel!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this little beauty in some unusual places - to get a night shot of my favorite sushi place in Kyiv clamped to a railing across the street. I used it on a train in Poland clamped to a buffet table and I have also clamped it to motorcycle handlebars. I would echo the caveat about be careful - it has a potentially crushing grip. The included stud has a standard tripod mount thread and there is a quasi quick release function so that you can mount and dismount a camera fairly quickly. I say quasi because you will have a stud sticking out of the bottom of the camera.
It packs well in a camera bag and I usually bring along a mini ball head such as a Manfrotto 2108/3314. You will need the reversible stud (2907) to attach it. I have also used it to clamp a remote flash to a tree branch! A highly recommended accessory for the determined photographer.
Digital camera Review: Great for video cameras on motorycycles
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a super strong clamp that will hold most video cameras STEADY on a motorcycle. I have used it on the handle bars and the rear grab handles and both were rock steadyDigital camera Review: May not need one often...but when you do...
Summary: 5 Stars
These things grip like they're welded in place, they're built like little tanks, and they are TOTALLY indispensable when the need arises. Those little squeezy clamps are fine, but mount a big fat 70-200 on the front of a camera/battery grip setup and try clamping THAT to a doorway or a pipe (or, as the other reviewer stated, motorcycle handlebars...) and watch you gear hit the floor.
Downside? They grip TOO well sometimes. Be careful - you can crush a thin door if you crank it too tight...
Highly recommended.
Digital camera Review: Strong!
Summary: 5 Stars
Put a speed light and a pocket wizard on one of these and you've got some money riding on that clamp. I trust this thing to it's job and I don't have to worry about my investment falling onto a hard floor. Cheap insurance!
