SKU CH-AWBQ-Y37HC

Heavy-duty clamp grips surfaces from .6 to 3 inches and supports up to 80 kg with a 16 mm bushing and 1/4"-20 anti-twist stud

  • Secure hold on surfaces from .6 to 3 inches with robust jaws
  • Supports heavy gear up to 80 kg or 176.37 lbs capacity
  • Built from aluminum, chrome steel and rubber for lasting durability
  • Flexible mounting via 16 mm bushing and 1/4"x20 antitwist stud
  • Trusted Manfrotto engineering for professional studio and film set reliability

Superior Grip for Demanding Studio Work

The Manfrotto 3" Center Vice Jaw Clamp attaches to surfaces from .6" to 3" using robust jaws that lock down cameras, lights and rigging. A 5/8" (16 mm) bushing and a 1/4"x20 antitwist stud provide two mounting points that resist rotation under load. The aluminium, chrome steel and rubber construction is built for daily professional use.

Suited to Heavy Fixtures, Not Ultra-Thin Profiles

This clamp serves photographers and videographers mounting heavier lighting fixtures or equipment up to 176.37 lbs (80kg) on pipes, beams or stands within the stated jaw range. Buyers needing to grip surfaces thinner than .6" or wider than 3" will find the jaws cannot close or open far enough for a secure hold.

Consistent Hold Under Sustained Weight

The fixed jaw at the base of the 16 mm baby pin transfers load directly into the clamp body, so the grip does not relax during long shoots. Rubber jaw inserts maintain friction without marring surfaces, and the antitwist stud prevents the mounted accessory from rotating even when the setup vibrates or shifts over hours of continuous operation.

Questions about this item

What mounting hardware do I need to attach a light to the 5/8" bushing on this clamp?

The clamp has a 5/8" (16 mm) baby pin with a 1/4"-20 anti-twist stud, so any light or accessory with a matching 1/4"-20 female thread or a 5/8" receiver will mount directly.

Will the jaws open wide enough to grip the 3" diameter pipe I already use for overhead rigging?

Yes, the jaws adjust from .6" to 3" (7.5 cm), so a 3" pipe sits at the maximum opening and can be clamped securely.

How do I verify the clamp is holding the full 80 kg load without slipping after I tighten it?

With the load applied, check that the fixed jaw at the base of the baby pin and the movable jaw both sit flush on the surface and that the 1/4"-20 anti-twist stud shows no rotation.
