Can you safely hang those UK clamps on a vertical pipe?
Parcans of any size, flood/cyc units and 650w fresnels/PCs, yes. Anything heavier than that, I don't tend to - but I have seen it done. I've never found them to be flimsy and haven't had trouble securing them - as I said, there's also less chance (in my brain, anyway!) of them slipping off the bar if some idiot does fail to do the clamp up properly than there is with a C-clamp. Gafftaper, maybe I should send you one of our clamps so you can try it for yourself! I've not used the C-clamps enough to be able to do a proper comparison - they're so seldom used here, although I think there are a couple kicking round in our tech store for some unknown reason!
