Secure Clamping for Professional Gear
The Explorer SX-MC Sidekick Magic Clamp attaches cameras, lights and monitors to flat or round surfaces. Two adjustment knobs let you set the jaw width quickly and then lock it down firmly. Rubber pads protect the contacted surface from scratches. It is built for photographers and videographers who need a reliable grip on location or in the studio.
16 kg Load Capacity with Wide Jaw Range
The clamp supports equipment up to 35 lbs (16 kg), handling heavier professional rigs with confidence. Jaws accept round objects from 15 mm to 100 mm in diameter and flat surfaces up to 90 mm thick. Very thin flat surfaces are also gripped securely. The range covers common pipes, poles, tabletops and beams without needing extra adapters.
Aluminium Body with Eight Standard Mounts
High-grade aluminium construction delivers the strength required for daily professional use. Eight mounting points are provided: one 1/4"-20 male thread, four 1/4"-20 female threads and three 3/8"-16 female threads. This array lets you attach a wide variety of accessories directly, reducing the need for extra brackets or spigots.

Questions about this item
Will the Explorer SX-MC Sidekick Magic Clamp hold my 16kg cinema camera on a 90mm thick table?
Yes, the clamp supports up to 35 lbs (16kg) and locks onto flat surfaces up to 90mm thick, so your camera and table combination is within the rated limits.
How can I confirm the clamp is locked securely after I mount a light?
Tighten the large flat knob until the rubber pads press firmly against the surface and the mounted accessory shows no movement when nudged; both knobs should feel snug with no play.
Does the package include a 3/8"-16 adapter or do I need to buy one separately?
The clamp itself provides three 3/8"-16 female threads and four 1/4"-20 female threads, so no separate adapter is required for standard mounting.
