Topic: Super Clamp to Extension Pole connection?

[Thom Joad]

For clamping to seats, rails ect. I use a quick release clamp:

with the above mentioned extension pole:

The rod in the clamp fits into the bottom of the extension pole fairly tight.

another excellent and more secure option.
remember 92" is pretty high and for your pole to only be supported at ONE point 92" below, it will sway a little.

why not mate two super clamps and use one to hold the pole while the other grips the mounting point?

[macdaddy]

i use the 99b and the superclamp. as has been said, the 013 stud fits inside of the pole, which has a screw to bear down on the stud...

you could also do what lil kim just suggested, though that requires two superclamps (you can use the same 013 stud to mate them, and have full 360 degree adjustability)...

i will post have posted a pic of the superclamp/099b combo in a bit below...

Good info.  How sturdy was the setup in the pic?

[macdaddy]

very sturdy. if there was a problem(and there really wasn't) was the table - not the clamp/pole...

make sure that clamp comes with the plug for flat surfaces...

anyone know where I can get the plug for flat surfaces for the super clamp?

Thanks!  I guess I missed that or didn't guess what I was looking at.

You might want to note that you do not have to order the flat plate additionally, they come with the superclamp.  It is mounted on the back side but easy to miss if you don't know it is there and haven't used this clamp before.  You can see it in the picture:

Thanks for the heads up.  Unfortunately, mine doesn't have one there.

actually - the plug is in that picture in your link, but if you dont know what you are looking for, you would likely miss it. if you can wait, order the clamp, it should come with the plug. if it does not, then you can always order the plug later...


just a word to those buying the supercalmp new - check out the quick action one, it is really sweet.
