ULANZI R094 Super Clamp Monitor Mount
Product description
What it is
The ULANZI R094 is a versatile super clamp camera mount designed for photography and video work. It combines a wide-clamp base with a configurable arm system to hold monitors, small cameras, lights, microphones, and other accessories. With a GoPro adapter included, it also doubles as a flexible mounting solution for action cam setups. On paper, it aims to address the need for quick, secure, and adjustable mounting in tight or awkward shooting spaces.
Key features
This clamp handles tubes, pipes, handles, tripods, and rods up to 60 mm in diameter, broadening where you can attach a monitor or accessory. It features standard 1/4" and 3/8" female threads on the back of the clamp, enabling you to mount a monitor, LED light, mic, or other standard hardware. The unit supports a maximum load of 1.5 kg / 3.3 lb, which makes it suitable for compact rigs without overreaching its limits.
Design and build quality
Constructed from aluminium alloy with a CNC‑machined, anodised finish, the R094 emphasises durability and precision. An integrated connection design with a non‑slip tooth pattern helps keep equipment stable, while a protective rubber pad on the clamp area reduces the risk of scratches during setup and movement.
Adjustment and positioning
A mid‑length adapter provides 180° tilt and 360° rotation at both the top and bottom joints. This makes it straightforward to angle a monitor or accessory during shoots and reposition quickly between takes. The clamp can be attached and detached with relative ease, allowing on‑the‑fly changes to your arrangement as shooting needs evolve.
Compatibility and practical uses
The clamp’s 60 mm diameter reach means it fits a broad range of gear, including photograhy rigs, GoPro setups, and compact video accessories. It is particularly useful when you need extra on‑camera monitoring, a secondary mic, or a light in a tight studio or on the move. It’s not a replacement for dedicated heavy‑duty rigs, but for entry‑to‑mid level setups it offers useful flexibility without demanding a lot of space.
What to check before buying
- Confirm the intended load: up to 1.5 kg / 3.3 lb is the maximum, exceeding that load could compromise stability.
- Ensure the mounting surface or rod you intend to clamp to is within the 60 mm clamp capacity.
- If you rely on longer throws or multiple accessories, consider whether the mid‑adapter plus 360° rotation provides sufficient clearance for your setup.
Use case guidance
If you’re building a compact studio or documentary rig where you want a quick, adaptable clamp for a monitor or mic, the R094 can be a practical anchor point. For example, you could clamp it to a light stand or a rod system and position a small monitor within easy reach, or attach a GoPro via the included adapter for an auxiliary angle. It’s not the lightest option in the world, but its aluminium body and CNC finish offer a sturdy, repeatable mounting point.
What it’s not ideal for
If you routinely run heavy camera bodies, large audio rigs, or professional multi‑monitor arrays, this clamp may feel stretched beyond its stated capacity. In those scenarios, a purpose‑built, higher‑load mounting system could be more suitable. Also, if you require absolute minimal slack or vibration control, you might want to pair this with additional stabilisation gear.
Decision point: Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you prioritise a compact, flexible mounting solution that can handle common studio accessories and small cameras without taking up much space. It suits users who want quick adjustments and reliable grip on standard bars and tubes. Not ideal if your gear frequently exceeds 1.5 kg or you need ultra‑rigid, vibration‑free mounting for heavier professional rigs.
