Manfrotto 171 Mini Clamp

I was skeptical it would hold on a 1.3-inch tube, but the clamp's grip is rock-solid and the lightweight build makes it easy to reposition. Perfect for securing my softbox arms without adding bulk.

I needed something to secure a small light to a pipe on set, and this little clamp grabbed it instantly without slipping. The 1.3-inch max diameter is perfect for standard stands, and it held firm all day without any wobble.

Took this clamp on a location shoot and it held my small LED panel perfectly on a 1-inch tube. The grip is surprisingly tight for something so compact, and it didn't budge even when I bumped the stand. Exactly what I needed for tricky setups.
