Great for tripods & pipes, not so for flat surfaces
The K&F CONCEPT Camera Mount Clamp, Super Crab Clamp is an upgraded version of the clamp used in their Magic Arm Clamp Kit. This is not a stand-alone device. You will need the correct mount points. I had adapters to mount my tripod head to test for this review. This is the big brother clamp. It is bigger, heavier and can hold more than the kit clamp. It also has swivel plates on the jaws to better grip flat surfaces. The clamp is easily adjusted with the Big Orange Handle.
I mounted my tripod head on the clamp using adapters. When I clamped onto the desk, it wasn't very secure. You can see in the video that it wiggles. This was dynamic with a heavy load. With LED lighting, it was secure enough. The mount on the tripod leg was impressive. Very secure. And, because the end plates and the inside of the clamp are padded, there was no risk of scratching. It wasn't going anywhere. For a pipe, I used a rake handle. That was secure. It didn't slip or rotate. The inside of the clamp curved such that it spread the load over the pipe, not just a few touch points. I made sure to swivel the end plates in. They tend to wander about.
If you have the right mounting hardware, the K&F CONCEPT Super Crab Clamp is a secure way to use pipes, tripods, etc. during a session. It is very strong. On a pipe, I would trust it with my X100V. I will also use it to hold LED lighting at my desk.
At the time of review, the K&F CONCEPT Super Crab Clamp is a good value if you have a clamp arm or the such to work with it. However, the need for that kit limits its versatility.
