LightPro D200 Knuckle Grip Head (Silver) - Unyielding stability and precision articulation for professional lighting modifiers and grip hardware. Engineered for the rigorous demands of high-end cinema and photography sets, this heavy-duty 2.5-inch aluminum grip head provides absolute lockdown security for mounting heavy flags, scrims, and extension arms to standard stands. Built for the Demands of Modern Production In high-stakes commercial and narrative productions, grip slippage is a critical failure point. The LightPro D200 Knuckle Grip Head is designed to serve as the unshakeable nexus between your light stand and your modifiers, delivering superior rigidity even when securing heavy or off-axis payloads. Whether you are booming a heavy 4x4 diffusion frame, flying an oversized solid flag to cut spill, or rigging a specialized bounce board, this grip head provides the mechanical advantage necessary to lock down your setup. The integration of a high-tensile stainless steel central bolt ensures that immense clamping force can be applied by the user without fear of thread stripping or sudden torque failures under load. Versatility is paramount when rigging on fast-paced, dynamic sets. The D200 features multi-channel V-jaws that accommodate standard industry spigots and rods ranging from 6.35mm (1/4") up to 16mm (5/8"). This makes the head instantly compatible with nearly every grip arm, baby pin, and drop-down in your rigging package. The heavy-duty chrome-plated aluminum construction significantly maximizes strength-to-weight ratio—tipping the scales at just 780g—while providing essential resistance to the corrosion and environmental wear encountered on demanding exterior shoots. Its high-friction braking surface ensures maximum contact against tubular metal arms, eliminating micro-sagging during long continuous setups and ensuring that your precise lighting ratios and edge cuts remain flawlessly accurate from the first slate to the final wrap. Key Technical Specifications Material Construction: Chrome-plated aluminum chassis with a high-tensile stainless steel central locking bolt Bottom Mount (Receiver): Industry-standard 5/8" (16mm) Baby Receiver for mounting to C-stands and light stands Jaw Compatibility (Rod Diameters): Precision-milled channels accommodate 6.35mm (1/4"), 9.5mm (3/8"), 12.7mm (1/2"), and 16mm (5/8") hardware Overall Dimensions: 187mm (L) x 99mm (W) x 71mm (H) Locking Mechanism: Ergonomic oversized T-handle with friction-enhanced V-jaws for high-torque tightening Weight: 780g (1.72 lbs) Finish: Corrosion-resistant silver chrome Production FAQ How does the clamping mechanism handle heavy off-axis payloads? The precision-machined V-jaws are designed to maximize surface area contact on standard 5/8" (16mm) grip arms, providing extreme friction and reliable lockdown power even when booming heavy diffusion frames or lights at an angle. Is this grip head weather-resistant for exterior location work? Yes. The D200 features a robust chrome-plated aluminum body paired with a stainless steel central bolt, offering high resistance to rust and environmental wear during demanding location shoots in humid or coastal environments. Will this head mount directly to a standard C-stand? The grip head is equipped with an industry-standard 5/8" (16mm) baby receiver at the base, allowing it to seamlessly drop onto the baby pin of any standard C-stand, combo stand, or rolling baby stand. Can I use this head to mount smaller accessories or non-standard pins? The adjustable jaws feature multi-sized milled channels specifically designed to securely grip varying hardware sizes, accommodating rod diameters all the way down to 6.35mm (1/4") for maximum rigging versatility.
