In an industry where clamps are either functional or frustrating, 3 Legged Thing is shaking things up with the launch of the Ultra Clamp—a beautifully engineered, pocket-sized powerhouse designed for photographers and filmmakers who demand more from their gear. If you’ve ever struggled to choose between Lever and Twist clamps, 3 Legged Thing has come to your rescue; the Ultra Clamp combines both!
Why settle for less when you can have it all?
The Ultra Clamp isn't just another Arca-Swiss style clamp—it’s a revolution in functionality. Traditional lever clamps require fiddly adjustments with tools just to fit different plates, wasting valuable time. The Ultra Clamp fixes that.
- Dual-Action Control – Adjust the tension with the knurled knob or use the lever. Both options, in one device. No tools required. No faff. Just simple, seamless clamping.
- Precision Engineering – It fits every standard Arca-style plate without the drama. Adjust once and get perfect engagement every time.
- Left- or Right-Handed? No Problem – the lever is adjustable to suit all users.
- Safety First – A built-in security catch ensures the lever won’t release accidentally, keeping gear safe.

The Game-Changing Square Base
Ultra Clamp isn’t just for replacing existing clamps on ball heads—it clamps into any standard Arca-Swiss compatible head in four directions thanks to its square base. Why is this a big deal? Because now:
- L-bracket users can finally mount their cameras vertically on video heads. No more awkward sideways balancing acts. Just perfect vertical mounting for TikTok, Reels, and vertical shooting.
- It doubles as a quick-release mount for accessories. Attach the Ultra Clamp to an L-bracket or plate, then add a magic arm, monitor, or light, using the clamp’s screw thread, for rapid setup and adjustments. (Quick-release magic arm? Yeah, we just invented that.)
Ultra Versatile. Ultra Compact. Ultra Sexy.
- Compatible with Standard Ball Head Cross Mounts – The standard cross indent ensures it fits any ball head that accepts Arca clamps.
- 3/8"-16 Threaded Hole – Mount it to a tripod, monopod, or attach accessories directly.
- Precision Measurement Markings – For accurate positioning and repeatability.
- Security Recesses – Engages security pins on compatible plates.
- Pocket-Sized & Lightweight – Weighing less than a ham sandwich, it’s compact, beautifully chamfered, and engineered to perfection.
