Has anyone used the Calumet Pivot Clamp by Calumet? I'm not sure which booms it fits since there are not specs.

There's something else to consider.

It appears that the clamp (which is similar to but not the same as the Manfrotto boom clamp I use) is designed to fasten to a standard 5/8" stud on the top of an ordinary light stand. It is not wise to attach any boom to the 5/8" stud on most consumer-grade light stands because an unbalanced boom rig can rip the stud right out of most of the stands I have seen.

My boom rig has a 1-1/4" female socket at the top of the heavy steel stand for the pivot assembly to seat in.
