Hi this is Jay P. Morgan. Today on The Slanted Lens we’re going to talk about clamps- the basic clamps and the ones that I love. Now this is not super glamorous stuff to talk about. But it’s the basics that we use every single day that we’re on set. One of my listeners wrote in and said, “Tell me about clamps.” So we’re gonna talk about clamps. The clamps that every body uses and a couple you might not have heard of before.
There are tons of clamps and we could do lots of different lessons on them all, but today I’m covering seven. We’ve got an A-clamp, a super clamp, a Cardellini, a platypus (or duck bill) clamp, an adjustable gaffer grip, a c-clamp, and a chain vice grip. I’m going to show you how each one works, fill you in on the advantages and disadvantages of each, and tell you what I’d put in my beginning clamp kit if I were just starting out.
Hope you learn something new today. Leave questions or thoughts in the comments below. Thanks for watching.
Keep those cameras rollin’, keep on clickin’.
-Jay P.

+Jeremy Bergen Thanks Jeremy.
Super useful stuff! Thank you!
Thanks so much for this video, I LIVE for clamps!
As always thanks for the great video that you posted about clamps today. you are funny like crazy but that's what keeps everybody coming back for more. not only funny but very informative thanks again Mr Morgan
Couldnt have said it better! :)
Awesome video. I learned so much.
Laughing but learning while watching this vid. Very informative. Very detailed. You talk and you SHOW one by one how each is used on real shooting set. This takes a lot of time to plan, to prepare, to shoot, and to edit. Just incredible.
Thanks for watching!
Made me chuckle as soon as I saw the intro. Gotta love someone who has passion for what they do!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for sharing, very useful information!
Great intro 🤣. Exactly the kind of video I need. Thank you.
Super informative--thank you!
Incredible video. Just fantastic. Funny and educational. I don't think I've ever had this much fun learning about grip equipment. Subscribed.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it so much. Thanks for the sub!
Great video and very info...
This is so incredibly helpful, thank you! So many times I know what I'd like to have, but have no idea what they're called, or just no idea that such useful items even exist. More videos like this please! Would really like one on brackets for light stands! Andddd, hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for so many brilliant videos that have helped me become a better photographer and an established professional.

Thanks for the great & informative video.
Would be great if you can explain the difference between a "mafer" clamp and a "super" clamp.
Thank you,
Something to add to the next one. Thanks for watching!
Doctor Brow 😂😂😂 👏👏👏👏👏👏 like!
thanks! be sure to subscribe.
Was that a Kessler motion control slider?
You´re great
Thanks!
Does anyone know how you use a S-hook clamp on a light stand?
Like the video, but you forget to mention Manfrotto as developper of: "035C superclamps", "Adjustable Gaffer Grip" and "038 double superclamp" that are very useful tools on set... Sometimes I'm proud to be italian.. :D
Good point! Thanks for sharing!
It's worth noting that c clamps and speed c clamps are usually used to bite into wooden beams it other very wide parallel faces, and they're virtually always used with cribbing (short sections of 1x3 or 2x4) wrapped in duvetyne to protect the surface from the jaws of the clamp.
Thanks for your pointers Jeff. You sound like you have grip experience.
The Slanted Lens Not nearly as much as many others ha. Speed C's are especially cool because you can just change out the length of speedrail to whatever you need if you need to grab something super wide. Modern studio makes an interesting version of the speed c using 5/8" fittings instead of speedrail, so you could use a standard 40 inch grip arm to make a very wide c clamp for rigging lightweight fixtures without having to carry around a bunch of pipe.
Hello:) Can anyone please post links for europe stores that sell this clamps? I cant find them=/ shipments to Slovenia precisely. Thank you! (Duck Bill Clamp,...)
Oh Clamps! My Asian grip had me thinking he was suffering from cramps.
The links (for the Kupo and Matthews Clamp) are having an 404 error message
Also, any way we can have close captions and or transcript this video.
Thanks for the heads up. The links have been updated. There are captions available on this video.
Love this vid! What's the name of the metal clamp that looks like a superclamp?
Different companies have different names for a lot of these clamps. The super clamp is also sometimes listed as a Mafer clamp or Bogen clamp.
The Slanted Lens thanks for the names, I'll look them up! Thanks again!
Can you do a photo shoot with a B&W couple something of a engagement shoot. For beginners what they will run into in the sun and bad shadows caz the darker skin vs the lighter skinned person. Maybe do some examples of bounce flash off a 5 in 1 reflector? That would really help me out... Thanx love all your video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
is it me or he did not mention the NAME of the clamp i did did search for?the black one, third from the left, i know it for using it but now i need to put it on a gear list.
It is a Kupo Clamp: bhpho.to/3iwKsmS
An just how in the heck did you get the superclamp to mount UPSIDE DOWN @ 1:55 ?
Tighten those screws
The Slanted Lens that makes no sense. Looks like putty or photoshop. Pause it
ace hardware sells those a clamps super cheap 99 cents at least once a year.
+Tim Linden Nice. Thanks
I want to be this guy when I grow up.
Hahaha! #goals
Totally baffled by your video for two reasons...
One, I am a Gaffer, and I can't help notice you are using all the photo clamp names. Like in video, we call super clamps Mafers and A Clamps are Pony's. I know these all have tons of names and you couldn't possibly go over all of them (No really, You don't have enough time in the world for all the names.), but if someone walked onto my set asking where the platypus clamp is, I would laugh them all the way off set. Lol Just a few other names would be nice!
Two, How the hell did you mount that superclamp upside down? Was that putty under there? Haha I can't wait for someone to try that and see it snap the 1/4-20 tip off!
Annnnnd Cardellini clamps for life! Best clamps out there in my opinion... Love them!
(p.s. You forgot c-47's! They are better for holding Gels than a metal pony clamp. With hot lights, it'll only take you one time of grabbing a hot clamp to realize that was a bad idea!)
I've got your t-shirt on my wishlist! Love your channel! Keep up the great videos!
+Gnat5680 I am a Grip. Ditto. Platypus AKA Lip Clip, Foamcore Holder, etc...A-clamp: Large one =Arnie or #3, Med=Pony or #2, Small=baby pony or #1, and mini= Shetland ...so on and so forth... I know, Make my own video.
Alternate nomenclature would've been nice for those starting out who don't know many of these go by various names.
Otherwise, great video!

Super clamp looks like a mapher
Never heard a mafer clamp called a super clamp before. Am I the only one?
Probably not. Thanks for watching!
SLIMMER! SLIMMER! SLIMMER! (It's called "English"!!)
poser!!!!
