DIY Justin Clamp for half the cost of a Manfrotto Justin Clamp

In this video, I am going to show you how to build your own DIY Justin Clamp which is a great piece of lighting grip gear for studio and location photography at less than half the cost of a Manfrotto Justin Clamp.

It's called a Justin Clamp because it is named after its inventor - self described tinkerer and photographer Justin Stailey of New York. Justin who at the time was working for Bogen, created the studio clamp to solve flash mounting complaints from photographer Joe McNally. McNally was running into problems with his photo grip gear when mounting the heavy Nikon speedlights in unusual places with the existing studio clamps and ball heads that were available on the market. Stailey took some off the shelf pieces from Bogen and created this frankenstein of a clamp - that went on to be named the Justin Clamp.

What is brilliant about the design of this photography clamp is that it's incredibly versatile. I would encourage any photographer who does location lighting to have at least two of these in your kit. Be sure to stay tuned until the end and I will show you a few of the many ways that you can use it.

But for the sake of not having to spend more than a hundred bucks to have two of these in your kit just in case you need them - let's do some problem solving and build our own Justin Clamps using Oben mini ballheads and a simple spring clamp.
