Tried this out for in-car use, the spring in the clamp is really weak and slips easily. Arm has decent range of motion, but already has loosened up to the point that it only maintains a position inside a narrow range. Ball seat mount is best part. Overall, if you need a quick clamp to pretty much anything camera mount for static shots, or maybe an accessory mount, this should be fine.

First, this isn't a Manfrotto, but it is a reasonable clamp at over half the cost. That's the deal. Works great as a small flash clamp or for a small point and shoot camera. I don't recommend using the "goose neck", it makes the clamp top heavy. The ball head works very well on all Nikon flashes up to the SB-900. If you don't want to drill a clamp (diy, I salute you), this isn't a bad alternative.

This is the only small tripod I could find that uses a `clamp' for those times you cannot find a level surface. It can be clamped vertically to a post, door edge or even a tree, if necessary. The spring clamp is heavy duty, but has rubber pads to prevent any potential damage or scratching. You don't always have a flat surface to film or photograph from. This also holds up to two pounds of weight which will work with most any newer model of camera (not older video cameras). The flexible steel neck makes just about any angle work and it will unscrew for easy packing. Sunpak always seems to have the most `cutting edge' products; even simply ideas like this.

This product works far better than I imagined it would. The bendable "neck" bends stiffly, which keeps it VERY securely in place. The clamp is powerful too. I use this product as shown, in combination with my full size tripod, and in combination with my table top tripod. I screw the bendable neck on to my two tripods. Very versatile and functional. Highly recommended.

Good clamp, especially since you cannot find this sort of thing anywhere else.

The construction is not that great, but it is still a good thing to have.

Over all I like the clamp it was quite a bit larger than I thought....I wanted to stick it in my small camera bag! I guess it probably did have the measurments on it...I was suprised!

Used this clamp to photograph documents from a film reader at the library. Really worked well. Got nice crisp readable pictures.

I found the flexible army to be slightly more flexible than I would prefer (using a relatively light pocket camcorder). In the end it worked though. The clamp is very, very strong. Users should experiment with removing the black clamp pads for the best grip on the mounting surface.

The product is a bit larger than anticipated. But because it disassembles, is easy to carry and use. I really like its flexiblity in uses, and articulation.

I use these with my game camera's comparable products cost 4 times the cost.
very durable.
