Ahhh, you using the manfrotto clamp. One question... the photo in your review showed the clamp was grabbing onto a square railing while the photo above shows a circular railing. The clamp can grab on flat and round surfaces without modification?
Ah yeah, it's able to. For flat surfaces, like square railings, there's this piece of rubber included with the clamp that gives the clamp a better grip (pictures here). You can remove this triangular rubber piece for poles or irregular shaped objects.
Ok thanks. Manfrotto has got just 1 model right? Searched Ebay and they generally go for about US$60-70.
Yeap, Manfrotto makes one model of the Superclamp but different versions of it, like ones with a knob to tighten instead of a lever. There's also a stainless steel version for outdoor use. You can get them locally here at Cathay for around $59 if I'm not wrong.
Great. I was searching online to find it too. ;-)
It says the max circular is 55mm, seems like it's a bit small for all railings, no?

The world's second busiest port in action.
Nice view. Which is the world's first busiest port?
Sorry to also point out, the "in action" part in the description is not obvious to me.

Scintillation said:Welcome! You can also try Fotografix at Level 2, The Plaza at Beach Road. Mr Wong sells lots of Manfrotto accessories, and I think his prices are slightly cheaper. But he's a little 'dao', haha! Just say you know Jonathan.He also sells the ballhead base for the superclamp. I'm using one that he assembled himself using various Manfrotto parts, since it provides a wider base for my ballhead.
