DLite 4 it - clamp/grip

[ciipha]

Hello all
I really hope someone can help - I've very new to studio lighting and recently bought the Elinchrom D Lite 4 it studio kit which I'm delighted with. In one of the tutorials tho (the little child with white background), it shows one of the D Lites clamped to a table facing the backdrop (to give the effect of the 'whited out' background) - Does anyone know what this clamp is? Or how I can mount one of the flash heads onto a clamp to attach to a pole/table?

Thanks so much!

Not seen the video, but check out the Manfrotto Super Clamp, useful for attaching lighting, cameras and accessories.

I've used mine to attach camera to car door, lights to table.

I've also got a couple of fishing poles with a camera spigot to fit flashguns.

Fantastic, thanks Cathus
Do you generally need to buy anything else with the Manfrotto Super Clamp to attach your light or camera too? Or does it come pretty much all as one?

Thank you so much!

It comes with a spigot to screw into cameras, tripod mounts or flash holders, it also has a socket to fit a strong bendable arm, also sold by Manfrotto, the name of which escapes me, so you can put the light a couple of feet away from the clamp, they come in two thicknesses, one for lighter gear and one for heavier gear.
