Phottix Multi Clamp with Reversible 1/4" - 3/8" Spigot

The Phottix Multi Clamp with Reversible 1/4" - 3/8" Spigot is a professional-grade, multi-surface gripping utility engineered for strobists, location portraitists, and macro photographers who need to mount speedlights and production accessories in unconventional spaces. Combining a heavy-duty mechanical clamp with an articulating extension arm, this compact rigging tool serves as a versatile alternative to carrying full-sized light stands.

Whether locking onto structural studio poles, field fences, or flat interior tabletops, it turns everyday environments into stable platforms for your off-camera lighting configurations.

Product Features in Detail

High-Tension Universal Pole Clamping Base
The primary jaw mechanism is specifically contoured to bite onto any standard circular pole, crossbar, tree branch, or C-stand extension arm. Its high-tension screw-thread drive allows you to lock the clamp down tightly, transforming existing structural piping into an instant overhead or low-angle light placement option.

Flat-Surface Conversion Plastic Insert
To maximize your rigging choices on indoor sets, the clamp includes a custom-fitted plastic insert that snaps directly into the jaws. This insert squares off the jaw grip, allowing the clamp to achieve solid friction on flat surfaces like desks, doors, windowsills, or studio shelving without slipping or leaving marks.

Articulating Extension Mounting Arm
Included with the clamp is a dedicated mounting arm that extends your gear away from the primary mounting surface. This extension provides essential clearance for hot shoe flashes, wireless triggers, or microphone shock mounts, allowing you to easily aim and adjust your equipment without it bumping into the supporting pole or wall.

Reversible 1/4" and 3/8" Locking Spigot
The mounting arm is capped with an industry-standard, reversible 1/4" to 3/8" male spigot. This dual-sided brass adapter ensures out-of-the-box compatibility with nearly all production hardware, from standard consumer camera accessories and ball heads to professional studio grip equipment and heavy umbrella brackets.

Multi-Surface Lighting Placement Anywhere
By eliminating the need for a wide tripod leg base on the floor, this multi-clamp allows you to tuck accent lights, hair lights, or background flashes into tight, crowded spaces. It lets you safely hide off-camera speedlights behind couches, mount them high on a curtain rod, or attach them to stair railings completely out of your camera frame.

Ultra-Compact, Impact-Resistant Travel Profile
Built to endure the daily wear of location production, the multi-clamp relies on a tough, all-metal structural frame that collapses down small enough to fit in a coat pocket or accessory pouch. Its minimal footprint makes it an essential "problem-solver" tool that slides easily into any camera bag without adding significant weight to your field loadout.
