SmallRig 2164

Used this Clamp specifically to mount my 5" on Camera Monitor to My Tripod while shooting it is well built and has versatile angles, exactly what I needed, price was the item was a catch actually. it is well build just like all smallrig parts are.

This review is for the "SmallRig Multi-Functional Ballhead Clamp Double Ball Adapter with Bottom Clamp - 2164". This is a nice sturdy clamp for photography (or other) uses. As can be told from the Amazon photos, the crab claw, tightening screw and handle, and balls in the arm are metal. But to my surprise, the arm itself is metal (looks to be die-cast), and the knob to tighten the arm also appears to be metal as well. The clamp, arm, and mount all seem to be of good quality and should last for quite a long time (only time will tell on this). It clamps down nicely to both wood boards and to round pipes, although I suspect the maximum diameter round pipe it will hold onto is smaller than the maximum size flat board it will hold onto. But for clamping onto tripod legs/arms or onto bike frames/handlebars it should work very well, and be quite secure. I have it clamped onto a board at the moment holding a Nikon SB-600 flash unit and it is doing a proper job of holding up the flash unit. All in all I am pleased with the clamp and am happy with the purchase. There are two different sizes shown by the manufacturer on the listing for the maximum opening distance of the clamp. The second attached photo shows the clamp at maximum opening, next to a ruler. Between the rubber pads the clamp opens a maximum of 2 1/8in, which equates to 53.975mm of width.

Zeer handige mount. Makkelijk te bevestigen op broek en zelfs op de verwarmingsbuizen

You don't know it yet but you need a dozen of these in your kit. Thank me later. Nothing negative to say about these, like most Smallrig products. Sturdy, well designed, strong hold, good range (size of the bite)

I purchased this item to add more versatile camera angles when making mountain biking videos. I predominantly use GoPro cameras for these films, mainly because they are smaller and lighter to carry than my regular film making kit. A full size tripod would be out of the question, I carry mini-tripods which are useful for close to the ground shots but rely on handy fences or tree stumps for higher shots. I have tried the well known range of bendy tripods but after having three snap, I gave them up. This multi-function ballhead is phenomenal, it clamps very firmly, the single handed adjustment makes getting the right camera angle a breeze. I have even rode down trails with it clamped to my mountain bike and had useable footage from a GoPro 7 with stabilisation. Like all Smallrig kit, the sturdiness and weight are indicators of quality equipment, even the packaging is a cut above.

Por el precio del producto no esperaba nada de mucha calidad, pero me sorprendió una vez que lo saqué de la caja. La pinza es muy sólida, bien rematada y con una goma de calidad que evita arañazos. El soporte, que era la parte que más dudas me suscitan a es muy bueno, quedando muy firme, sin necesidad de hacer mucha fuerza en las tuercas de sujeción. Yo lo quería para poder sujetar una cámara en el coche, en la barra del reposa cabezas, y todas las pinzas dedicadas a las bicicletas quedaban demasiado flojas, pero con esta se puede sujetar perfectamente. Una gran compra.
