Would this support the weight of a 2lbs spotlight?
Asked by: Chris
I would say, yes on 2#. I use it mainly to hold GoPro mounts for bike handlebars, forks, tube. I also use it to mount battery packs to light stand. It holds the various mounts and cameras, batteries in the 2# range and manages the vibration of the ride, etc. My opinion is a yes.

how does the ratchet work- and if the clamp is sliding on a pole, then how many turns will it take to tighten?
Asked by: Bruce
You can pull on the ratchet of the Impact Atom Clamp with Ratchet Handle and move it to a position allowing you to provide maximum force even if you cannot spin the handle 360º. You can tighten it down until it will no longer turn; if it still moves, you need a smaller clamp or a larger rod.

question

size of threads of mount?
Asked by: Anonymous
Standard 1/4 20 and 3/8 16 threaded holes. Be warned though: this mount is NOT intended for mounting heavy items. I snapped off the retaining pin on this unit when I overtightened it on a tripod with a SmallHD DP7 on it. I am a bit of an overtightener, but I was still surprised. If you want to be able to CRANK something down and have it hold weight, go with the Manfrotto Super Clamp. A LOT more weight and bulk, but I have never seen one break, ever... I still use this to mount GoPro cams, mics, small lights, etc. But I went back the the Super Clamp for my monitors mounts. Just not willing to put an $1800 piece of gear on one anymore. Good to have a couple in your kit at this price though.
