    Good stuff! Ive found however on heavier tubes like the 4 ft pavotbes will not stay in the white clips sadly..i had a close call booming them over with one of their own nanlite mounts. Id recommend a cardellini or a "claw" mount or one of the fully wrapping nanlite plastic clamps with the 1/4 inch thread.

      Just got mine and you’re totally right: They’re so long that the leverage easily pops it out. I find the $30 mini cardellinis work best, of the ‘clampellini’ style clamps. But I’ve been using a nano clamp on a heavy duty mini ballhead. They both work really well, but you do have to be careful not to bite down on the light too hard. Utebit and Leaplumin are my faves for the mini ball heads btw.

    That pool noodle hack is crazy! I use a couple 1m tubes from Ambitful, the perfect clamp is for them is the micro mathelinis from the Matthews micro grip set. The smaller size is really great for lots of use cases that the regular size ones are just too strong or big for. Love the channel!

    Hello - thanx for your demonstration.
    Love the HANDLE option that I want to find, also you say « smallrig handle « and your link shows Nitze handle that looks, tell me if i m wrong , a bit different from your video. Even if the Nitze handle looks fine in nato rotation and may do the job , I was wondering if it has the same hole to mount on a pin as you did on the Tripod ?

    any fixture. add a baby pin to it and then proceed in mounting your fixture as you would any other baby clamp fixture? There are probably tight spaces or accute angles where you neeed to go specialist. Only go specialist when you need to?

    Heya, thank for sharing all these insights. I was wondering if you have an AVenger Baby plate and the T12 clips, is there enough space on a single plate for 4 clips - so to hold 2 tubes?
    Also, are the clips strong enough to hold the tubes vertically or would they slide out?
