Is there anything better than a quick setup? Than thinking you’ll have to fumble with different plates, screws and Hex Keys; and instead finding it all sorted for you by the Unity Drop-In Clamp. Is there anything better than knowing your gear will be secure no matter what, with an auto-clamping design and magnetically-assisted placement?

Seriously, we’re asking: is there anything better?

Auto-Locking

1^st AD rushing you through camera setup? The Unity Drop-In Clamp helps you lock in and lock down any gear. The design automatically adds pressure to secure NATO plates in place, for quick security on-the-go – you’ll just need to tighten the lever to fully secure it. Combined with the built-in magnets that help you align the Unity Rail, and you can precisely position your parts.

Find the Right Angle

Most NATO rails are limited to side-loading, meaning you have to slide it into place – and if you haven’t got easy line-of-sight, that is more difficult than it sounds. The Unity Clamp can be loaded top-down as well as from the side, which when coupled with the auto-locking mechanism and magnetic guidance means that you’ll be able to safely secure your rig at any time. Who needs line-of-sight? You could load NATO rails practically blindfolded.

Quick-Release Convenience

Of course, if you wanted rock-solid support, you’d just screw your gear into place. Securing your setup is easy, but what sets the Unity Drop-In Clamp apart is the ability to release it at the push of a button. There’s a built-in safety stop to prevent any unwanted drops – or you can store it within the Clamp if you want to live a little dangerously.

Anything, Anywhere

The Unity Clamp has a unique combination of screws, threads and adaptors that make it capable of mounting to any part of your camera rig. Choose from a 1/4" screw, a 1/4" thread, a 3/8” screw or a 3/8” thread. So whether you’re hooking it up to a Cheese Plate or bridging the gap between builds, the Clamp is up for anything.

No Sudden Twists

Separate from the screws, the Unity Clamp also offers anti-twist support via a simple ring that slots into the same socket as the screw. Not all anti-twist standards are built equal, however, which is why the Unity Clamp’s design caters to both ARRI standard and non-standard anti-twist layouts. All optional pins and screws can be stored within the Clamp, minimising the chance of losing anything.

Part of the Universal Accessories System

Bright Tangerine’s Universal Camera Accessories are – appropriately – designed to be universal. Capable of being used on practically any camera system or rig construction, these accessories are ideal for filmmaking professionals at any level: from run-and-gun videography to high-budget cinematic filmmaking.

The Unity Drop-In Clamp comes as a standalone unit, but you will require your own flathead screwdriver and 2mm Hex Key to adjust and install the different parts. The Clamp comes with a 2mm Hex Key, but you may require your own flathead screwdriver to adjust the pins.

NATO Rail to Clamp
1. Slide or lower the Rail into place in the Clamp – compatible components will be guided by the built-in magnets.
2. Tighten the clamp to fully lock the Rail in place.
