All About Clamps and Extension Poles

Clamps are hugely useful, whether clamping to another taper's stand, a balcony railing, theater seating, ceiling beam -- you name it.  Some hopefully useful threads about clamps:

• Balcony clamping (http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=103678.0)
  
• More clamps (from archived thread) (http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=2456.0)
  
• Extension pole options (http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=110425.0)
