Double Super Crab Clamp motorcycle handlebar tap-action camera clamp with rotating ball head (360°) — dual clamp for action cameras, rods and tripods
Product description
The essentials
This double super crab clamp is the sort of accessory you buy when your camera setup needs more freedom than a basic mount can offer. On paper, it’s built for action cameras and accessories using a dual-clamp “magic arm” design, with a rotating ball head that allows you to reposition your device without constantly re-mounting.
It’s also very much a clamp-first product. Instead of relying on a fixed bracket, it focuses on gripping onto cylindrical/pipe-like elements and compatible surfaces within a stated diameter range. If you often swap between riding, tripod-style setups, or using reflective/photo accessories, that flexibility is the main reason people consider this type of mount.
Where it shines in everyday use
The headline feature is the rotating ball head plus multi-angle adjustment. The design is described as offering 180° vertical rotation and 360° horizontal rotation. In practice, that usually matters when you want to change the camera’s framing while keeping the mount where it’s comfortable and secure.
A common micro-scenario: you’re setting up for a cycling ride and want the camera to start forward-facing, then later angle it slightly down to capture handlebars and the road. With a rotating head and lockable positioning (it mentions an adjustment range supported by a locking knob), you’re aiming for quick re-angles rather than starting from scratch each time.
The other practical win is the dual-headed clamping approach at both ends. Depending on how you rig your gear, you can secure devices or attach to rods/boom poles/selfie-stick style holders (the description mentions several common categories of accessories, including umbrella fixed bracket/reflector fixed clip-style use).
Key points to consider before buying
It’s worth noting the fit is tied to the clamp diameter: the applicable range is stated as 0.6in–1.57in. If your handlebar, rod, tripod leg, or stand tube is outside that range, it may not grip properly or at all. Likewise, the mount is meant for “fixed” clamping setups—so if you need something that truly slides freely or adjusts constantly without any locking, you may find this approach a bit more stop-and-fix than you want.
Also, while it’s positioned as suitable for action cameras such as Insta360/GoPro and “other action cameras” in the description, the information given doesn’t spell out exact attachment methods beyond the general idea of clamping. So it’s sensible to double-check how your specific camera (or camera cage) connects to your chosen mount path.
Tech specs
- Rotating ball head: 180° vertical rotation and 360° horizontal rotation
- Clamp diameter range: 0.6in–1.57in (stated applicable diameter)
- Adjustment method: locking knob/locking screw to attach/detach and help fix the device
- Mounting approach: dual super clamp / dual-headed clamping at both ends
Pros
- Wide-angle adjustment on the head (useful for changing framing without remounting)
- Dual clamping ends designed for securing gear around compatible rods/poles
- Non-slip rubber pads are mentioned, which should help with grip on surfaces
- Multiple mounting-style use cases are implied (motorcycle handlebar, tripod, table/desk, rod/pole style setups)
It might not be the best match if
- You need a clamp for a tube smaller than 0.6in or larger than 1.57in
- You want a quick-release system designed for frequent removal and reattachment throughout the day (this appears to rely on locking adjustment rather than a dedicated rapid-release)
- Your camera needs a very specific proprietary mounting interface not covered by “tap action camera” style clamping in the description
Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you’re building a flexible action-camera setup around rods, selfie-stick style holders, tripods, desks/tables, or motorcycle handlebar-style mounts where you can clamp within the stated diameter range. It’s also a decent fit if you regularly use photo/reflector accessories and want one mounting approach rather than separate brackets for every angle.
You may want to skip it if your rig’s tube diameters don’t match the given range, or if your setup demands a mount designed around your exact camera housing and attachment method (since the description is broad and doesn’t list specific hardware compatibility details).
Should you buy it?
Buy it if you value adjustable angle control (180° vertical and 360° horizontal rotation) and you’re happy to secure your setup via clamping within the stated 0.6in–1.57in range. It’s a practical choice for multi-scenario shooting—cycling rides, desk/table arrangements, and rod/pole-style photography accessories.
Don’t buy it if your mounting points are outside the stated diameter range, or if you need a clearly defined camera-to-mount connection that’s not covered by the general “action camera / rod clamp / accessory clamp” style described. In that case, you’d likely be better served by a mount where compatibility and interface are spelled out more precisely.
Quick answers (FAQ)
FAQ
Does this clamp require drilling or permanent fixing?
The description emphasises attaching/detaching and using locking knobs, suggesting a clamp-based setup rather than drilling.
What angle adjustment does it offer?
It’s described as providing 180° vertical rotation and 360° horizontal rotation through a rotating ball head.
What diameter can it mount on?
The stated applicable diameter range is 0.6in–1.57in.
Is it only for motorcycles?
No—multiple mounting-style scenarios are mentioned, including rods/poles, tripods, tables/desks, and other photography accessory-style clips.
Will it work with my Insta360/GoPro camera?
The description states it’s for Insta360/GoPro and other action cameras, but it doesn’t detail exact connector/cage requirements. If your camera setup is unusual, it’s worth checking the mounting interface you plan to use before ordering.
