The Camera Quick Clamp is part of the PVC Assistive Mounting System (PAMS).

The PVC Assistive Mounting System is a collection of readily available commercial-off-the-shelf components and 3D printed components that can be assembled into various configurations to provide mounting solutions for assistive technology.

 

Usage

The Camera Quick Clamp is designed to attach to a section of 12 mm / 1/2 inch SCH 40 PVC pipe. Open the latch and position the clamp around the pipe.
