| I bought a bracket off EBAY and I don't like it. It's some kind of camera holder or something. What is the best way to hook these to your steel leg? Or is there a better way? |

| The brackets they sell for it are junky in my opinion. They don't hold place unless you tighten them to the point where they either strip or break. I have camera lens mounts with similar mechanics that are of high quality materials and they hold tight. I'd gladly pay more for a tuner clamp/mount system that was made like that. ( I am referring to the swivel mount section ) |

| The bracket for the StroboFlip was great, and included. Bracket for the HD is pretty disappointing. Like the tuner, though! |

I’m using a FOTYRIG camera clamp mount around 12 bucks at amazon works much better than the Petersen one

I find that mine doesn't need to be tightened with a death grip to stay in place. But...there's a lot of plastic in it and feels like one good bump and it's going to snap. If (when) that happens, I'll probably figure a way to attach the swivel to a spring clamp. I know it only takes a few seconds, but I find tightening the thumb screw to the steel leg be a pain. |

Well I wonder if there different versions depending on when it was made. I tightened the screw that clamps the ball swivel as tight as possible by hand and it still just had to have the slightest bump to move out of place. I tried tightening it a bit more with pliers and one of the plastic wings broke off the tightener. It's all just a question of quality materials. You can get this type of apparatus about the same size that will hold a 5 or 6 pound camera lens rock solid on a tripod. Cheap? No. Effective? Yes! I love the tuner but the clamp annoys me every time I use it. |

I would say the whole idea of the much larger display is so you can leave it sitting on the floor and still read it easily :-}
