Making your own Justin Clamp

[photoman303]

also known as a super clamp these little accessories are awesome to have in your bag, but they are expensive, so I decided to make my own.

it easily lets you attach photo accessories in the studio or out in the field.



save some bucks and let me know what you think

A good idea, but it has been done before.

As the owner and user of a couple of actual Super Clamps, a couple actual Justin Clamps (different than the "Super"), and dozens of these DIY clamps I've made and used over many years, I'd have to say that the differences between them don't justify calling the DIY clamp a "super clamp" or a "Justin Clamp", despite the vague similarities. It's like calling a DIY Kit Car a Corvette because they both have 4 wheels and a gas pedal.

I'd rather buy the super clamp and be certain my ~$200 flash isn't going to fall off.

I think I got mine used for like $10 when I first looked at doing this sort of clamp about 15 years ago. (to mount my camera on the harness bar of my rollbar)
