Photographer Bud Cline finds new uses for the McClamp and emails me.

Ferrell, I hope all is well with you. It looks like the two McClamp models are getting very positive reviews. I just came up with another use for the double clamp model. I am shooting a Nikon D70 these days and, as you probably know, the remote control for it is an IR type with the sensor on the front of the camera body. The internet is full of all kinds of solutions to allow the remote to be used from behind the camera - most are clunky and/or expensive. I am big on getting multiple uses from the gear I have for my various pursuits so have combined the McClamp and a telescoping mechanics mirror to allow me to fire the shutter with the remote from behind the camera. I have attached a photo of my setup. It works great and is very versatile!
Cheers, Bud Cline

In the studio I am finding countless ways to put the McClamps to use. Here I have two McClamps holding a 36” reflector. The beauty of the McClamp is the abiltiy to change the angle of the reflector easily.
