will this work with a dslr?

Yes, it will work. I wouldn't put a lens bigger than a 50mm prime on it. And even then I would only use it for a few shots. The perfect use for this is as a tripod mount to attach a small LED screen or other photography accessories.

what is the difference between this item and the Pro version?

The ActionPod has 5 links and a 1" clamp while the ActionPod Pro has 7 links and a 2" clamp. Hope this helps!

The clamp is sooo tight, I only manage to open it half. Is there a way of loosening it somehow?

Thanks for contacting us. The spring clamps have been designed and built by our founder - a working cinematographer - to be very robust and strong professional grade gear for use in the field. We want to be sure your equipment stays secure, and when a brand new clamp is first used, they will be quite stiff. A fair few of our customers will need to use two hands to open and close the clamp when first using the mounts, and while we build the clamp so they don't ever get truly loose (I've had my ActionPod for nearly a decade now and it still has great grip) you will find it becomes a little easier after it has been opened and closed multiple times. If you have any other issues or questions please don't hestiate to contact us! Cheers, Dinkum Systems

What is the lenght of this?

The ajustable section is around around 6-7 in and with the clamp it would be 8 or 9 in

Used for H4N Zoom on a boom pole

Strong clamp. Easy to maneuver into shape. Did exactly what I needed it to do and for a very reasonable price. I got the idea to use it for my H4N Zoom from an episode of Film Riot. Worked like a charm. My boom/sound guy could easily monitor the recording levels while positioning the mic. Highly recommended for this use. I have not tried it with my GoPro yet but assume it will work great, as my GoPro is lighter than the Zoom.

Very handy

These are lightweight yet very strong. I can actually clam a DSLR to a stand and it hold on position for those difficult angles.

Use It For My Audio Recorders

Cool little addition to my audio gear bag. I throw an audio recorder on it when I want additional ambient room noise when on a video or audio shoot and this opens up options to where I can put it. It did snap apart on the first shoot out but I have "Lenny" strength and tend to be rough on things. It snapped back together and seems to be fine so I'd recommend it.

this is SOLID

this thing is great. SOLID. although its plastic the clip is stronger than an irwin metal clip i bought at a hardware store. it's a little bigger than i expected, but looks like it will be great for many different applications.

This type of goose neck cramps are mostly for Gopro ...

This type of goose neck cramps are mostly for Gopro mount but this is for standard screw mount type so I can attach most cameras. I use it for Sony nex5, panasonic G6 and ION pro.

Get this one over the gopro brand

So glad I bought this over the GoPro one. I love having the threads on top so I can mount other things like speed lights or other tools. Much more useful I believe. Thanks!
