The strongest clamp I've found

This clamp is solid. It's heavy, but can hold a heavy payload because of it.

Very sturdy product

I was looking for a sturdy platform for my camera other than a tripod. It is certainly very very sturdy. I am accustomed to ball joints on my tripods that have a loosening device that allows me to move the camera around quite easily. The joints the ball joints on this device are so stiff I would not recommend this product unless you are a gorilla. I found it virtually impractical to use because the amount of force I needed to move the joints I thought maybe loosening the grip was possible by counter rotating the sleeve near the ball joint well that marred the unit. There is no way to reduce the friction on the ball joints so I actually have to clamp The Joint to something very sturdy in order to be able to wrestle the ball joint near the clamp and when I say wrestle, I lose. This product seems to be something that a Industrial Studio would use if they know that they're going to have a permanent position for a camera because there is no simple movement no practical no simple practical movement in the ball joints. The other end with the camera attachment it's not sturdy enough for me to want to really wrestle it although I did I was more concerned about bending that is permanently bending the camera attachment. I do not know how an amateur or hobby photographer whatever use a device like this I could not return it because I damaged it which is fair however I clamped it to a shelf that I have as a permanent reminder to maybe ask more questions to avoid making silly purchases in the future. I would not recommend this product to anyone who is not a gorilla
