Manfrotto Nano Clamp Reviews

Better Than Lookalikes

There are several clamps being sold which have a very similar design to the Manfrotto Nano Clamp, and I debated about spending more than twice what some of the other brands cost. However, after actually receiving the Manfrotto clamp and comparing it more closely to the photographs of the other brands, it is evident that the Manfrotto is made more robustly. You'll have to decide whether that more solid build is worth the extra money to you. Personally, if I'm going to hang some expensive equipment off my tripod, a few extra dollars is good insurance. I especially like that the handle is on a ratchet so that no matter what the handle orientation after tightening, the handle can be rotated to be out of the way. Yes, the handle is plastic, but I believe it's a phenolic-type plastic that's very strong. If you torque the clamp to the point where the handle breaks, you need a bigger clamp.

Another great product from Manfrotto

This well-designed and well-made product worked great; smaller than Super Clamp, but had a great gripping power. Allowed the user to grip poles with confidence. The 1/4 and 3/8 mounting points were well-appreciated.

Hi Guys, I intend to use that clamp on my Benro GH2 gimbal arm which is exactly 35.6mm thick but the clamp opens up to 35mm wide. Can someone tell me if that should be fine? Thanks a lot
Asked by: Xavier
If your leg is bigger than the clamp it will not fit.

Difference between Manfrotto 386BC-1, and Manfrotto 386B-1?
Asked by: Troy
The Manfrotto 386BC-1 comes with a 1/4-20" to 3/8-16" thread adapter while the 386B-1 does not. Otherwise, the clamp is the same.
