Avenger C1000 Drop-Ceiling Scissor Clamp
The Avenger C1000 Drop-Ceiling Scissor Clamp mounts small to medium light fixtures from a drop ceiling frame. It terminates in a standard 5/8 inch Baby stud for direct attachment. The clamp is made of durable zinc steel for reliable support. It suits photographers and videographers working in studio or location settings.
Installation and common issues
The scissor action grips the ceiling grid without tools for quick setup. Ensure the clamp seats fully on the T-bar to prevent slipping under load. The non-threaded spigot requires a compatible grip head or knuckle for fixture mounting. Over-tightening can distort the zinc steel jaws over time.
Capacity and headroom
The clamp handles small to medium fixtures within its rated load. Heavier heads or large softboxes exceed the design limit and risk grid damage. The 5/8 inch stud accepts standard Baby-pin accessories directly. It is not suited for suspending heavy follow-focus rigs or large LED panels.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the C1000 is holding my light fixture securely after clamping it to the ceiling grid?
Tighten the scissor mechanism until the jaws grip the T-bar firmly, then mount the fixture onto the 5/8" Baby stud; the zinc-steel construction keeps the stud rigid so the fixture stays level without slipping.
What comes with the C1000 and what must I supply to attach a light?
The clamp ships ready to use with its integrated non-threaded 5/8" male spigot; you only need the light fixture that accepts a standard Baby stud — no extra adapters or hardware are required.
The listing shows model number 1000 — is that the only version available?
Yes, the C1000 is the single drop-ceiling scissor clamp in this range; it handles small to medium fixtures via the fixed 5/8" Baby stud, so there are no alternate capacities or stud sizes to choose between.
