1. What kind of super clamps do you use for on location shooting? I was looking into the Manfrotto one. Any other alternative?

2. Also, which compact light stand do you use? I want something which last longer and small in size.

Thanks!

    While I have a Manfrotto, there are several other companies that make them. My Manfrotto has got to be 6 years old and if they haven't changed it in that time the only thing I don't like is the handle, it's too small compared to my other 6 clamps which are from Calumet Photo:

    Calumets work just as well as any other and if you buy 3 or more there is a break on the price. Can never have too many super clamps (or in Calumet Terms, "Studio Clamps")

    I believe the technical term is "voice actuated" superclamp.
