Lightpro 45cm C Jaw vice clamp with 16mm stud & 16mm Receiver

Lightpro 45cm C-Jaw Vice Clamp with 16mm Stud and 16mm Receiver – Precision Grip for Complex Rigging

The Lightpro 45cm C-Jaw Vice Clamp is a heavy-duty, versatile mounting solution designed for professional studio and location workflows that require secure, high-capacity rigging of lighting fixtures and production accessories.

Built for the Demands of Modern Production

When shooting on location or in a complex studio environment, the ability to create solid rigging points on unconventional surfaces is paramount. This vice-style clamp eliminates the limitations of standard mounting hardware by providing an exceptionally wide clamping range, allowing you to secure gear to thick beams, support pipes, or irregular surfaces where traditional clamps fail to find a purchase. By integrating a combination of a 16mm (5/8”) stud and a 16mm receiver, it offers immediate compatibility with the industry-standard "baby" pin ecosystem, enabling seamless transitions between mounting lights, grip arms, or other specialized production tools.

Engineered with a focus on structural integrity and mechanical leverage, the clamp handles significant payloads with stability. The threaded shaft design ensures that the clamping pressure is distributed evenly across the jaw surface, maintaining a reliable hold during long-duration shoots. The robust metal construction is essential for maintaining precision during heavy-duty tasks, providing the confidence needed to rig fixtures overhead or in tight, demanding configurations where failure is not an option.

Production FAQ

How does the clamp maintain stability with heavy fixtures?

The clamp utilizes a threaded screw-drive mechanism that allows for high-torque manual tightening, ensuring a firm, mechanical lock onto the mounting surface that resists vibration and shifting.

Can I use this for non-standard surfaces like structural beams?

Yes, the 280mm maximum jaw opening is specifically designed to accommodate large, structural objects such as industrial beams, trussing, or thick studio scenery elements that standard grip hardware cannot span.

Is the receiver compatible with standard lighting modifiers?

The 16mm receiver is built to the industry-standard "baby" size, making it fully compatible with standard spigots, light fixtures, and grip accessories from major manufacturers.

What precautions should I take when rigging at maximum payload?

Always ensure the clamp is tightened against a structurally sound surface capable of supporting the total weight. As with any high-payload rigging, always use a secondary safety cable to secure the mounted fixture to a primary load-bearing point.
