I have about a dozen super clamps, but on some types of tube I worry about them crushing the tube. If you use them on an overhead studio grid or pipe, they always seem to slip eventually too. That thing I linked to compresses from 4 sides, so it should keep lighter tube from crushing (not like you'd stick a 10" fresnel on a lighter tube, but I'm always looking for somewhere to stick a flag!). I've got a couple aluminum beefy babies, really afraid to ever super clamp them, they dent really easily.

I also like that is seems like you could leave those attached to stands when moving or packing... I've had a lot of setups where I had flags or even a small second light sticking off a main stand tube with 2 linked superclamps (like when doing a big diffusion wall). I could see having a couple beefy babies with these just living on the main tube. Might have to give 'em a try.
