Built like a friggin' tank!
I just ordered 3 of these, 2 arrived. The paging did not survive the shipping. The factory boxes these came in were totally destroyed. That's because the seller did not bother to pack any foam, paper, or air-pillows in the shipping box to stop the two items slimming about inside the shipping box. That's also because these clamps are very heavy, and built like a tank. The fact they survived shipping says a lot about their construction.<br /><br />My only gripe as to the seller's photos of the product is that the product should have been shown in use with the type of lighting it was meant to hang. These guys are actually meant to hang industrial filmmaking lighting gear which is much bigger and heavier than the entry/pro filmmaking video lighting I'm currently using. So, I've had to look for another clamp that has the standard stud for video / photo lighting.<br /><br />I'm keeping all of these clamps, because now I have them, I can hang some heavier lighting in the future as needed.<br /><br />These clamps have what initially looks like a common studio lighting stud, but it's not. It's a really big stud with a threaded bold inserted with a hefty washer. This aint your average DJ light clamp. I think if I end up with a couple of those heavy mover heads, I'll hang them with these guys.<br /><br />I think the seller needs to be aware that by not packing correctly, this could have cause the shipping box to be damaged, and then the products could have slammed into and damaged other packages during shipping. These are very heavy, and even though they will survive just about anything, they still need to be packed so they don't slam about in the shipping box.
