IIRC, the threaded portion is a VERY STANDARD 1/4 20 screw, & fits clamps, mic. holders, cameras, etc. As I posted earlier, I have 6 sets & I love 'em........rob

Nice! Thanks.. I've been looking around for this type of setup. Thought I'd have to spend more for a mic stand at the music store.

I can get 4 sets of these for less than I expected to pay for one tripod/mic stand.
:gj:

This kinda clamp looks useful too! Mini Tripod + Mountable Clamp for Xenon Flash Light -- Convert Xenon flashlight into a working lamp

@ netwave. If the clamp unscrews from the tripod, my advise is to buy a standard style
tripod rather than the flexible leg type. The standard tripod has EXTENDABLE legs which can give a bigger 'footprint', thereby making a more steady base when holding the larger RPL style lasers. The flex leg model is unable to do that. I have 6 of the extendable leg models & they work great................. rob

:thanks: for the advise Rob, I will deff bare that in mind for a future RPL.

In this case I was only interested in the 1" ring clamp, as Ive struggled to find the correct size for my lasers which are about 1" dia.
That tripod you commented on comes with the clamp.

Ive got a Joby gorilla tripod, theyre allot stronger & more stable, but it is flex legged which I personally find great for what ive got.
That 1" ring clamp should fit the gorilla which is what ive been looking for.

It would be great to see more hosts with tripod inserts like the tank007 as standard.
Especially for the smaller lasers out there like mine where weight would not be an issue.
Now would'nt that save allot of hassel :beer:

I just did a robustness test & those DX tripods are very poorly designed dispite being cheap!

I just managed to break one with little effort, where the bolt just spun in the mould before it broke away!

Basically the threaded bolt is surface moulded lol... here's the evidence

If your looking for a stronger cheap tripod look for the Spider! EBay Item number: 180429408368 its virtually the same as my Joby but cheaper, If your looking for better tilt action you could get Item number: 180429421700 which is a mini ball head attachment! I just ordered one & are available in x2 sizes which should also suit an RPL.

is there a universal clamp on focal price?

tripod and clamp

The most professional solution that I've purchased was the Laserglow Glowmount Tripod adapter. The one for the Aries series holds a CNI PGL III-C perfectly. I think that the smaller one holds CNI pen style lasers and the large one is for Hercs. It holds your laser onto any tripod with a 1/4 20 connection. (All camera tripods have 1/4 20 connector). Here is the link. Bill

doesnt look like it will work for rayfoss style. Thats why this is a universal clamp.

 

[souljasai]

This is a good deal I bought it in the past.

 

[haiyo]

Jep, but it is to small for a Hercules and it wouldn´t be allowed to touch my GLP

 

[siqueirah]

Are the clamp and the baby octopus from focalprice compatible ?

yes, they are the same product, and if I remember well, they had them cheaper
