Boom Clamps

[midnight999]

Hey all, does anyone know where I can find a good supply of boom clamps, the type most people use to mount arm etc, not sure what diamete I want yet, guess it will partly be dictated by whats available in good numbers at a good price.

Have you looked at hydraulic/pneumatic pipe clamps like these

Cheapest ones I could find are the ones for Rusty's Frame. I never got any but they look decent and light, machined from delrin. Only issue for me was size was too small.
I did buy some of the Tarot boom clamps for a 600mm heli for $3 each. They are aluminum, heavy, and don't offer a great flat surface to attach to.
After getting the cinestar, I see why they are so popular. The clamps make for a very modular and strong system that is also lightweight. Too bad their clamps cost $17 to buy a set! crazy.

Cheers Andy, that the sort of thing I'm after but they look a bit chunky and heavy, might be worth ordering one to have a look though

Yeehaanow:- the cinestar ones look great but would make it too expensive to build the whole thing from.

Kept securely and reliably - has no right to spontaneously change position (turn on) on the tube.
Many people have this problem.
So i fix this
