Thanks Barry_S. I 've known about Filmtools I was trying to find some that looked like filmtools but it was black instead of silver.

Well, if you're looking for something in basic black, you could go for the Table Manners rods and clamps--also at Filmtools.

Or with the system, I'm thinking of buying for car mounting--

1 -- 6" Wood's Powr-grip suction cup w/ 3028 Super-3D head
2 -- 4.5" Wood's Powr-grip suction cups w/ 5/8" baby pin
1 -- Matthews Mini-Grip kit

im telling you.. the bogen/avenger 6" cups with swivel pin cost $25... you can put together a very decent car mount package for less than $150.

Jarred--I've seen the Bogen cups for $55. Who sells them for $25--because that's a great price.

these are the ones I use, I got them for $26 from somewhere though ahile ago, they musta gone up a few bucks. They also make em without the joint for a few bucks less.

They are incredible, last week I ran into a pole with my camera truck and I used it to pull the dent out of the side panel of the van.

Re: Car Rig / mount links?

Jarred--those look good, but can you unscrew the swivel joint or the baby pin for a 1/4" stud? I have an Arca-swiss ballhead I'd like to mount on a good vacuum cup.

Re: Car Rig / mount links?

no, but they also make a camera plate that attatches to the stud, the ball basically acts as a ball head in the swivel one. to be honest, i dont really like rigging car mounts with 1/4" studs anyways, because that isnt very much metal.

Okay Jarred, we're not going to be seeing you on TV doing an informercial with an Australian accent are we?

Re: Car Rig / mount links?

Thanks for the info Jarred and Barry_S! Jarred do have a link to Bogen's car rigs ?

Re: Car Rig / mount links?

they dont make an entire kit per say.. you just need a few suction cups, some gobo arms and super clamps and a camera mount (they make it all) and you are set. I will try and dig up some photos to show you.
