LimoStudio 1-Pack [Extra Super Heavy Duty] C Clamp with Metal Stud Universal 1/4" & 3/8" Screw for Multi Purposes, 40 Lbs High Loading Super Clamp, vs. Compared to 30 Lbs Market Standard, AGG1108

I use Monfrotto autopoles for photo backdrops and hang with super clamps. I was missing one but didn't want to spend the money on the name brand. I found this and thought I would try it. Turns out it is very heavy (doesn't feel cheap) and works with the Monfrotto accessories. So far so good. It has a simple job, clamp on an hold tight. Seems great so far and much better price than Monfrotto.

The LimoStudio Super Clamp with Standard Stud (AGG1108) sold and shipped by KimOutlet is a sturdy and extremely useful photography grip equipment product at a remarkable low price that accommodates all of the Manfrotto Super Clamp accessories including Extension Arm, U-Hook Cross Bar Holder, Expan Drive Holder Hook, and Magic Arm. The product packaging from KimOutlet included some unexpected bonus items that were not listed in the original description (a pole spacer for use with an optional Manfrotto Expan Drive Holder Hook, screws to attach the pole spacer to the Expan Drive Holder Hook and screws to attach the Expan Drive Holder Hook to the Super Clamp). The order shipped on the day it was placed and received in two days. I am extremely pleased with this purchase.

This is the second one of these that I’ve bought.They are a great value and work exactly as one would expect.

I must have 20 of these. I just love them, use them all over the studio.I like them better than the originals (the M brand) because these have a rotatable handle. You can push in on the handle and move it out of the way when it's finally in position.They are solid, well made, inexpensive, and indispensable. Love them.

This clamp is a fraction of the price of a Manfrotto or other name-brand unit. It hefty and solid, works just fine and has no problem holding up a 2' soft box on an extension arm. The clamp knob is a bit too close to the quick release, and the rubber coating on the clamp is a little short on grip but easily compensated by more tightening. For value I would give it a solid 5-stars and for functionality I would give it 3-stars -- hence the 4-star rating.

Better than expected!!

This clamp is solid. While I have seen a few reviews indicating breakage, this clamp appears solid and strong. I've clamped it above my workbench on a 2" x 6" (1 3/4" true width) and I wasn't able to get a total surface contact of the clamp on the beam because of an obstruction on the beam. (smaller jaw is 3/4 depth against the wood.) Never the less, it grabbed tight and if I two mounted like that I think I could do a pull-up on them. Not sure if the Manfrotto is stronger, but I can't see needing more gripping strength that the LimoStudio. Recommended.

I have this clamp as well as a few Manfrotto Super clamps. This clamp, 99% of the time is good enough. I do see a difference in quality between the two, the Manfrotto is hands down made better in almost every aspect. The Manfrotto clamps are what I use for securing my expensive strobe heads or heavier modifiers, I trust them more, it's as simple as that. But for just about everything else I'd gladly use these Limo clamps. They're good enough, just not as good as the Manfrotto clamps.
