UltraClamp Assembly for Cameras, Scopes and Binoculars

I got this primarily to mount my digital audio recorder above the stage so i could record my shows. It can also accommodate my camcorder, which is a plus. I was expecting it to be mostly plastic, and was surprised to find that the clamp is made of what appears to be aluminum. It's very articulate, and holds it's position well when tightened down. I wouldn't expect to mount a larger camera or heavy pair of binoculars to this, but for my purposes (lightweight audio & video devices) it's perfect!

This clamp does what it's supposed to do. It's nicely made and will give you a solid support for your camera.HOWEVER, if you clamp it on your window to get footage from your moving car, it's useless. With the camera mounted on just the mounting screw, the camera shake is very pronounced. I tried another idea: I took some styrofoam packing material and cut it up to make a sled that the camera rests in or sits on. This arrangement eliminated nearly all vibration. With some bungee cords to hold it onto the hood or trunk, this would give a nice clear view. I did my test with the camera on the dash, which showed window glare and water spots on the windshield; but most importantly NO CAMERA SHAKE.Having written all of that, mounted on the window with the car parked is the way to uses this product to eliminate the use of a tripod.I'm still keeping it.JH

This is a great clamp that can be installed in both thin and thick wooden/metal members. I use it to support an IP camera that we use as a baby monitor. It has rubber ends so that wooden members do not get scratched. You can also use it to support flashes thanks to the standard tripod mount. At the beginning I thought it was a tad expensive, but it was definitely worth it.

I'm ordering another because I had to pry this thing off the Stanton Island ferry in NY. Once you screw this thing on all the way, you may not be able to get it off.That being said. It's a phenomenal product. I ordered the medium size this time. Excited for my new ultraclamp assembly.
