FAQs
What is the maximum thickness the clamp can grip?
The clamp can securely grip surfaces or rods up to 54mm thick.
Can I mount a heavy camera on this?
While the clamp is sturdy, it is primarily designed for accessories like lights, monitors, and microphones. Always ensure the total load is balanced and the clamp is tightly secured.
Does this clamp come with a mounting arm?
No, this product is the Super Clamp unit only. Mounting arms can be purchased separately and attached using the included threads.
Is the material weather-resistant?
The clamp is made of aluminum alloy, which is durable and resistant to rust. However, it should be wiped down after exposure to water or sand.
Can it attach to flat glass surfaces?
Yes, it can clamp onto flat surfaces, though ensure the glass is thick enough to withstand the pressure and is not fragile.
Troubleshooting
Clamp slips on smooth surfaces
Ensure the jaw is fully tightened and, if necessary, use a small piece of rubber or cloth between the clamp and the surface to increase friction.
Difficulty loosening the clamp
If the handle becomes stuck, check for debris in the threads or over-tightening. Use a dry lubricant if the mechanical parts feel stiff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the SmallRig 735, simply unscrew the tightening handle until the jaw is wide enough to fit your target surface, place the jaw around the rod or edge, and turn the handle clockwise until secure. Ensure that the equipment being mounted is properly aligned with the selected 1/4" or 3/8" thread before tightening.
Compatibility is broad, covering most camcorders, lighting units, and standard photo accessories. To maintain the clamp, keep the internal screw threads clean and free of debris. Since the clamp is made of aluminum, it is resistant to corrosion, but it should be kept dry after use in humid environments to maintain the finish.
