Off setting the ear helps get your background so much smoother.

Great product

I bought two and am very happy with how they work. I was able to make a T bar of two 6' speed rails and hung a 12' by 12' ultrabounce on it without any droop. While that kind of size compaction is great for my mini-van grip truck they are robustly made and heavier than expected. They are handy enough for a variety of applications that I will probably buy two more, heavy enough that two will sit at the shop waiting for a confirmed use.

Will this hold 1" pipe securely?

Since the Matthews Round Backdrop Ear 1" was discontinued the 1'25 would be the closest in that size... you won't have as much tension with it due to less contact points, but it will work with a risk of slipping depending on the orientation. Please refer to https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1470902-REG/matthews_bc420101_3_matthellini_center_jaw.html or https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1179094-REG/kupo_kg602912_super_viser_clamp_with.html for alternative mounting options.
