I just received three of these. The quality is superb and the things are very customizable. Remember, Avenger is now owned by Manfrotto. You can stick any 5/8 pole, rod, whatever through the baby pin side. There are two threads on the baby pin side, which means you can mount a top on the other end too. You just need a set screw you can get at any hardware store. I mount two of these on top of each other using that technique.

I liked the price, but when I received it in the mail I was hesitant about the quality. Right away it bound up when tightening the head and it took some coaxing to get it ti work. As long as you don't abuse it too much, I guess it will last long enough to get your money's worth. Next time I will stick with the tried and true Matthews C-Stand products.

I bought this with the junior avenger light stand. I was surprised how heavy and solid the Avenger products are. Very good quality, this will last a long time.

Well built, nice touch to add the rubber on the handle - makes tightening easy. Fits right in with my other C-stands and light stands, happy to have it.

Two of these hold my 6X6 scrim set up. 4 stars instead of 5 because I should have had these years ago but I never realized it. Pretty light but rather bulky.

This thing is solid, all metal and versitile. [...] I haven't yet used this clamp to it's full potential but it's obviously well designed for the purpose intended.

It seems that you can never have too many of these in the studio. We bought them to replace some older Mathews knuckles that were past repair. The Avenger series are plenty for what we need.

Well built grip head that works great with any C stand. Only gripe is that it doesn't have the grooved texture in the notches like the Matthews heads do. No problems with performance regardless.
