The build quality is excellent. The main clamp bodies are made form beefy thick aluminum, with steel and brass hardware. The main tightening handle is plastic, but it is very strong and I have never been worried that it might break. The side pin tightening handle is also plastic, everything else is metal.
The rubberized grip surfaces are very durable and won't peel off like cheaper clamps.
This clamp has one 5/8" (16mm) hex stud receiver (this version comes with a stud) and one 1/4 - 20 threaded female that is centered in the clamp. The hex stud receiver has a quick release and also a bolt with a plastic handle on the side that can be tightened to firmly secure the stud.
There are an limitless pins and accessories you can use with these clamps to mount virtually anything.
Accessories that I use regularly:
* Joining studs: Manfrotto 061RA Right Angle Joining Stud for Super Clamp and Manfrotto 061 Joining Stud for Super Clamps - Replaces 2913
* 1/4" male for the 1/4" threads Smallrig 1/4" Male to 1/4" Male Threaded Screw Adapter (2-pack)
* 3/8" Stud Manfrotto 036- 38 Stud for Super Clamp with 3/8-Inch European Thread or Manfrotto 088 Stand 1/4-20-Inch Female to 3/8-Inch Male 20mm Long Adapter - Replaces 3103 for included 1/4" stud
* Short stud Manfrotto 037 Reversible Short Stud - Replaces 2907
* Perfect fit hex stud grip head Kupo Grip Head with Hex Stud KG202011
* Full size pin Avenger E600C 5/8-Inch Snap-In Steel Pin for Super Clamp
* Magic arm Manfrotto 244 Variable Friction Magic Arm with Camera Bracket - Replaces 2929
You can even use 3/8 to 5/8 microphone thread adapters to mount full size microphones with this clamp.
The possibilities are pretty much endless.
I have tried a few of the cheaper knock-off super clamps from various vendors, but none of them came close to matching the original Manfrotto build quality. these clamps might seem a bit expensive compared to the knockoffs, but they will last forever and you really do get a better clamp for the extra money.
I purchased 2 units of the Manfrotto super clamps, to attach several types of equipment to the Manfrotto AutoPole 2 that I own as well.
The clamps are made from a solid aluminum and offers a solid grip. According to the manufacturer, the max. weight limit for this clamp is 15 kg - So far, I hung with it mostly LED lights, and it held them firmly.
The clamp is padded from the inside, so when it surrounds the Manfrotto Autopole 2 that I attached it to, it doesn’t scratch the Autopole.
The jaw opening range of this clamp is 0.5” - 2.1” (1.3 cm - 5.3 cm) which is relatively big and makes it easy to fit this clamp with various setups.
I purchased the clamp along with a metal stud, that is useful and durable, but I was a bit surprised to learn that it shows marks from the screw of the items I attached to it. Since it’s a metal stud (and not a cheap one), I thought it will not show any scratches or marks. But so far, at least it didn’t bend inward, like a cheap aluminum stud. You probably will need the metal stud, so I recommend getting it as well, as the super clamp is sold either with or without it.
Overall, the setup of my equipment looks great and seems to be in its place thanks to the Manfrotto super clamps, so I’m comfortable with it and can sleep well at night and it won’t fall on my head, so it was worth spending the extra bucks on the more familiar brand and start working.
Please note I attached to this review screenshots + a video I made about my experience with the super clam.

Tripods and monopods came with various trade-offs. I found this clamp and bought it on the basis of both the specifications and the reviews. It can be used for a range of things, and has a supplementary screw mount as well as the stud. But I only use the stud and for my camera equipment.
Not all things have degrees of goodness. They either completely work or they completely don't work. This is something that works 100%.
Italian made. A simple but high quality industrial standard of build and materials. A good instruction leaflet, in case you lose your intuitive powers.
It's a little chunky to fit in a pocket and, according to specs, weighs 1.2 pounds. So, if you pack it it in a camera case with lenses etc., make sure they are protected from it.
The jaws open to a max capacity of 1.25 inches. Without the wedge adaptor - but with care - I managed to secure it to a 2.6 inch board and again to a 3/8 inch thick flange. And, of course, it will accommodate a pipe, or similar shape, up to at least 2 inch diameter. When you tighten them, take care that you don't crush something.
The stud holds the camera about an inch above the clamp. For me, that was enough to clear any obstructions.
One end of the stud has a standard quarter-inch thread for your camera etc.. The other end is hexagonal to mate with the clamp. The clamp has a quick-release press-in knob and a well-sized thumbscrew to secure the stud completely.
So, you can remove the camera and stud to rotate them or stow them; that's a form of quick release, if you're happy with the length of the stud in the camera. However, I've used a ball head and quick-release plate - both Cullmann - for over 20 years, so I wanted to transfer them to this clamp. They did. The whole setup is as good as it gets. There are other adaptors and accessories that you could use to mount camera, flash, reflector, etc. simultaneously.
The thumbscrew also secures a removable wedge, which fits into one jaw of the clamp and turns it from something to use on a pipe to one on, e.g., a tabletop or plank.
I had a minor quibble with the thumbscrew. It can get in the way of your fingers when securing the clamp to an object. But it's not impossible to deal with; I soon adapted to it. A little more thought at the design stage would have avoided this.
You can use the clamp anywhere there's a lump of the right dimensions. I've used it on a table top, deck rail, car steering wheel, branch, chair leg, door, etc. This clamp is as reliable and immovable as the thing you secure it to. No duck tape required unless it gives you pleasure.
I wish I'd bought one sooner, and recommend it without hesitation.

I am planning to fix it on the anti roll bar of the open Gypsy jeep and with the Wimberly gimble head attached to my Nikkor 600 mm super tele lens,it should give an excellent shooting experience for the next Tiger Safari .
The standard stud is a must,otherwise how does one attach it to the ball head ?
