Where can I find a clamp like this? - frule - 05-24-2017

[attachment=2378][attachment=2377]

I have no idea what this clamp is called or where to buy them. It is on
the leg of a photographer's tripod. The leg is about 1 1/2" in diameter
and would require good clamping strength. It's one of 2 clamps on the
leg and they hold an aluminum clip board so that the photographer has a
writing platform.

Anyone know what it's called?

Thanks!

Looks like a clip for hanging a broom/mop/shovel on the wall.

I've always heard it called a capture clamp. It is made for holding mops to a wall rack.

If you can't find them locally, they're available from a few different sellers on eBay.

There are some nicer ones for fishing poles.  I think they are generally made from rubber and do not mar the finish.
