Topic: Clamp-aholics. The ultimate clamping and rigging team thread II

[ycoop]

My Matthews telescopic baby stand extension arrived today (woohoo)!

I’m now trying to figure out how to attach a stereo bar with 5/8” threads to the stud. It looks like I’ll need a rapid adapter, but I can only find them going from 5/8” stud to 3/8” or 1/4” threads. Do I have to go 5/8” stud > 3/8” or 1/4” threads > threaded adapter to 5/8” threads or are there 5/8” stud > 5/8” threads rapid adapters that I just can’t find?

Bueller?

I don't see any Stud adapters offhand with 5/8". Use something to convert the stereo bar

Figured this was how I’d have to go. Just wanted to check before pulling the trigger.

You may want to buy two.  You'll undoubtedly need a 2nd one or spare down the road for something.

I like these because if they get stuck, which they always do, you can use a quarter in the top slot to pry them loose.

Maybe consider a rapid adapter of some kind too.  Makes setup and break down a snap. (or twist)

Yup, kindms and I are thinking of one of these for our Mathews extension pole:

same page as rigpimp listed, only this is the specific 3/8 inch stud.

I bought the Manfrotto flavor back in 2003 and use it 99% of the time I record.  It is strong like ox.

Minor MAJOR annoyance of mine when I first started taping was those damned thread adapters. Come off the stand? Stay in the mount? Drop in a muddy puddle on the first day of a fest?

Used the super clamp+telescopic extension for the first time last night. The clamp could only latch on in a way that caused the pole to be at an angle. Is there any way to avoid this with a superclamp or would a c clamp be the way to get it up perpendicular to the ledge?
