Secure Your Gear Instantly with the Flip-Open Rod Clamp
In the fast-paced world of professional filmmaking, every second counts. Fumbling with gear and wasting time sliding components on and off your rig is a frustration you can't afford. The Upgrade Innovations Flip Open 15mm Rod Clamp is engineered to eliminate that bottleneck, providing a rock-solid mounting point that attaches anywhere on a 15mm rod in a fraction of the time. Say goodbye to the tedious process of de-rigging and hello to on-the-fly adjustments.
Our innovative, tool-free flip-open design is a game-changer on set. Simply open the clamp, position it precisely where you need it on your 15mm rod, and snap it shut. It's that simple. This single action provides a secure, non-slip grip, giving you the confidence that your valuable monitors, wireless transmitters, and other accessories are safely locked in place. This clamp isn't just about speed; it's about providing a reliable foundation for your creative tools.
Versatility is at the core of its design. We've included two of the most critical mounting standards in the industry: a SmallHD-compatible 1/4"-20 with locating pins and an ARRI-standard 3/8"-16 with anti-twist Pin-Locs. This dual-pattern system ensures you can securely attach a vast array of industry-standard mounting adapters, articulating arms, and accessories without worrying about unwanted rotation or loosening during a shoot. For the ultimate flexible setup, pair it with our RudyArm articulating arm to achieve virtually any mounting angle you can imagine.
Built for the rigors of a professional set, every clamp is CNC-machined from a solid block of 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum for an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. We then apply a Mil-Spec Type III hard anodized finish, the same standard used for military hardware, to protect it from scratches, corrosion, and daily wear and tear. Complemented by high-grade stainless steel hardware, this clamp is an investment in durability that will perform flawlessly for years. Proudly designed, manufactured, and finished in Canada, it represents a commitment to unparalleled quality and precision engineering.
