Thanks Daniel, more great info as usual.

I use super clamps and magic arms for setting up remote cameras at sporting events. So with a minimum of 4 and sometimes 6 magic arms and 2 super clamps per magic arm, I need a bag that I can carry them around in. Is there something you recommend?

Also - There is a removable plastic component stowed in the back of the super clamp (Looks a little like a Toblarone chocolate) That pulls out, and goes between the jaws of the super-clamp, to grip flat surfaces better... It has two pins to locate it into position..

This is a great answer to the age old question; "now what is that for?" Thanks Daniel.

Thanks, Daniel! These are perfect for me, as I'm planning on purchasing some grip and lighting equipment at that level. Super helpful, since I trust your experience and opinions.

Love the super-clamp! Must get one of those head attachments for mounting cameras - I've done it before by just screwing in a pin directly into the camera, but of course that gives you no flexibility of movement (and they have a nasty habit of coming undone as there's very little surface contact to stop them twisting :/ ). The J-hook looks useful too. Once upon a time, when I shot nothing but landscapes and motor sport, my wife bought me an SB900 speed-light for Xmas. I took some pictures of people with it bounced off the ceiling and hey! it worked! I looked around on Amazon for a book on lighting with speed-lights and Joe McNally's 'The Hot Shoe Diaries' stood out. I read it from cover to cover. Several times. I set out to try and replicate some of the techniques in the book, and bought a bucket load of used SB900's on eBay, hired a theatre, and a ballet dancer from the Royal Ballet, and with no less than 6 willing assistants, we shot some stroboscopic dance. I searched for a long time for the best thing to suspend the speed-lights from, and ended up using Superclamps, and a pin with a vice-like cold-shoe on the end. I attached the clamps to 2.5m long pieces of 21mm doweling rod, which was then suspended from the lighting rig up above the stage on motorised chains. They worked really well - rock solid. I also use them to hold crossbars (bar in the jaws, clamp on the spigot on top of a stand); and to hold an extra light half way down a light stand - clamshell lighting on one stick - and sometimes to create a "wall of softlight" with 2 120cm octa's on each stand. Love these little gear videos Daniel - a lot of the time for me, the challenge is not so much what light I need, but how to to physically get lights where I need em - these little bits of grip gear and tips are brilliant.

Original KFC but back when they made it in pressure cookers not deep fried like now. Must have been some magic in it in the old days because I get a craving for it sometimes but I'm always disappointed when I get the deep fried stuff and think that will satiate my craving. It never does.

There's a real knack to using those with a camera. When you hold the camera and line your shot up then lock it off, the whole thing says just a little bit when you let go of it. Not a huge problem when using a wide lens but gets harder to line things up with longer lenses. Still a great bit of kit though.

Not impressed. I prefer Bat Clamp, Clamperine or She-Clamp.
