Amaran Light Tube NATO Mount

This adapter connects Amaran T2C and T4C light tubes to standard C-stands or grip arms using a NATO rail clamp. The 16 mm baby pin fits the fixture's native mount point for direct attachment. Photographers and videographers gain a secure bridge between tube lights and grip gear without extra hardware.

Replacing Ad-Hoc Clamp Workarounds

The adapter replaces improvised combinations of spigots, knuckles and safety cables that slow rigging and can slip. When a shoot demands fast repositioning of tube lights on stands or arms, the NATO rail's positive lock cuts setup time and eliminates wobble. It is not for fixtures lacking a 16 mm baby pin receiver.

NATO Rail Clamp Practical Limits

The NATO rail standard fixes the clamping profile, so only compatible NATO rails accept the clamp. The 16 mm stud diameter limits use to equipment with matching baby pin sockets. Load capacity depends on the supporting stand or arm, not the adapter itself.
