Has a uniquely designed hook moulded into the clamp which keeps the clamp on the pipe even with a light fixture attached, while the bolt is being tightened. Terminates in a 5/8" pin and has a safety chain and cotter pin attached.

Works well and holds the light securely in place. The knob that allows the baby pin to rotate is a good feature since the lights I am using this with have much smaller screws. Some others have that feature, but require tools to adjust it. Fits a 2 pipe (or slightly larger) for those who have the same question I did.

Do you think this will grip tightly to 3/4" black pipe, or too big?
I'd likely use a Cardellini clamp to secure a light to a 3/4" OD black iron pipe. If the head is small like a ARRI 150 or 300, a Lowell clamp would work. If all you have is a standard baby pipeclamp and you need it to bite a smallish pipe you can place a small hardwood block between the pipe and the bolt, and then tighten your bolt. For this to work safely the pipe must settle into one of the corners of the clamp. Be sure to use a wire safety to connect the pipe to the yoke of the instrument in case the bite fails.

I want to hang my Paul C Buff Einstein lights from the ceiling from mounted pipes. Will this do the job?
Yes, a Baby Pipe Clamp will do the job, but we recommend you consider the Baby Grid Clamp as a tool-less option. Both are great support options, but the Baby Grid Clamp is a bit more user friendly.

question
I plan to secure lights to the metal roof truss in the studio. Is this clamp appropriate for this application?
This is really for securing it to a round pipe, like in a lighting grid. Depending on the shape of the truss, you may want to look more at something like a super clamp.

question
we are building the pipe grid now but i need to give the pipe dimensions to the architects....what size pipe is best?
1.5 inch schedule 40 pipe is standard. Usually in a 4'x4' grid. Just do a google search for iweiss pipe grids for more info.
