Product Information
Full details
The Kondor Blue Anti-Twist NATO Clamp is an essential tool for professional videographers and camera operators who require a secure, reliable mounting point for accessories on their camera rigs. By utilizing a robust single-bolt mounting system and integrated anti-twist pins, it ensures your gear stays locked in place even during intense handheld shooting; however, it is specifically designed for standard NATO rails and will not work with non-standard proprietary mounting systems.

FAQs
Can I remove the anti-twist pins?
Yes, the anti-twist pins are removable to allow for greater compatibility with rails or cages that do not feature locating holes.
Is this clamp compatible with RED or Arri-style rails?
It is compatible with any industry-standard NATO rail system.
Does this clamp come with any tools for installation?
No tools are required as it features a built-in blue thumb screw for manual tightening.
What should I do if the thumb screw feels stiff?
Check the threads for dirt or debris and ensure you are not cross-threading the bolt when attaching it to the rig.
Is the finish prone to scratching?
The clamp is finished with a durable coating, but like all metal camera accessories, it may show wear over time with heavy professional use.
Troubleshooting
Accessory is rotating or spinning on the rail
Ensure the anti-twist pins are fully seated in the locating holes of your cage; if the cage lacks these holes, ensure the main mounting bolt is tightened firmly.
The clamp will not slide onto the NATO rail
Loosen the blue thumb screw completely to ensure the jaw is fully open before attempting to slide it onto the rail.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Tool-free installation with signature blue thumb screw
- Removable anti-twist pins ensure maximum stability
- Compact and low-profile form factor
- Extremely durable construction for daily field use
Cons
- Compatible only with standard NATO rails
- Single bolt mounting may require periodic checks if subjected to extreme vibrations
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your clamp, align the anti-twist pins with your camera cage's locating holes before tightening the bolt. If your specific cage does not have locating holes, simply remove the anti-twist pins to use the clamp on any flat surface or standard NATO rail.
Compatibility: This product is universally compatible with all standard NATO rails. It is not compatible with proprietary rail systems or non-standard diameters.
Care: To ensure long-term performance, periodically clean the clamp jaws to remove debris or dust. Do not over-tighten the blue thumb screw, as this can cause undue stress on the internal threads over time.
