STROBIST ARCHIVE: LESSON #5 - SUPER CLAMPS

Taken Directly from




While stands are usually the best choice, they aren't the only way to hold a light in a specific location. And other options take up less room in a lighting kit, too.

The favorite of most shooters is the Bogen Super Clamp. It can latch onto just about anything, provided the thickness is a couple inches or less. 

The bent arms of the clamping jaws make it particularly appropriate for clamping onto a variety of shapes. Pipes, railing, doors, shelves, tables, tree branches, electrical conduit running up the wall in a high school gym (not too tight...) are all no problem.

It comes with a stud that will accept a ball head or an umbrella stand adapter, too. So mounting your light is very easy. They are about $28.00, and every photographer should have at least one.
