Mounting Tool for Bars Up to 1.37 Inches
The Manfrotto 171 Mini Clamp (#2940) attaches securely to pipes or bars with a maximum diameter of 1.37 inches. It provides a stable mounting point for lighting fixtures, cameras or other studio accessories. Its compact form factor suits tight rigging setups where full-sized clamps cannot fit.
Photographers and Videographers Needing Compact
This clamp suits creators who mount gear on irregular structures such as railings, shelving or lighting trusses. The 5/8" female socket accepts standard spigots and studs for quick accessory changes. Builders who require a larger jaw opening or a different thread standard should look at alternative mounting hardware.
5/8" Female Socket for Accessory Compatibility
The defining specification is the 5/8" female socket that determines which arms, heads or lights can be mounted directly. Verify that your accessory uses a matching 5/8" male stud before purchase. This single interface dictates whether the clamp integrates with your existing kit.
