my rowi clamp does not seem to be able to hold itself upright any longer, not sure if i need to replace the tension screw at the end or what.
curious if anyone has had similar problems or any suggestions to correct it
the thumb/tension screw in the red circle is what i am referring to
mine sux0rs as well.
Gettting a bogen superclamp...
I think there is a plastic tippet that can be replaced that fixes this
I'm having the same problem, actually lost screw that goes in and puts tension to hold it tight.
Since it is aluminum, I might just use a metal tape and increase it to a larger size screw.
i never liked those rowi's, the rowi i scored opff of ebay 3+ years ago is different, it doesnt have thata rm to extend, it just has a c cmlamp on one end and the ball socket on the other thats held up quite well for many years so far
check ebay. mine even came with a leather case
Answer: Bogen C clamp, all metal, all the time.
Rowi is a brand name. Sometimes there is a difference in quality between a real Rowi clamp and a "Rowi type" clamp.

mine has rowi on the side of it, i don't think its an impostor ;D
i love my rowi, its so compact and the versitility of it is unmatched. I can clamp on any stand in any position and then adjust around whomever i'm clamping to. I don't even need to have a front spot on the tree.
I have a different one so I don't know if I can help, but I have a feeling that your screw is worn down where it stops the rotation, maybe replace it?
