I just bought that same Manfrotto super clamp but have yet to use it.
One difference is the Windtech uses 5/8 mic mount, and Manfrotto is a 3/8'|1/4-20 reversible.
Manfrotto also offers a short stud- https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/546376-REG/Manfrotto_037_037_Reversible_Short_Stud.html/pageID/accessory

Pipe, like a handrail?
Lumber?
What are you going to clamp to?
With the Superclamp, they make a wedge insert that makes it more functional for mounting to tables, or, other dimensional lumber.

Post by: vanark on March 05, 2018, 12:11:30 PM: Yes, go with the super clamp for a round bar that size. I also use it in other situations, but would be my go to in the situation you describe.
