Q: 1. How do I attach a camera to it?

A: If it's a small camera like a DSLR you can screw a 5/8 standard pin to 1/4-20 into it. If it's a bigger camera you're going to want to get two more suctions to triangulate it and attach them to some sort of plate to mount on.

Q: 2. Could you use this to attach a boom pole to a tripod with quick release plate?

A: Probably not the best item for your project. We HAVE used it to attach a boom pole to the top of a light stand or a C-stand. Works wonderfully for that. But not to the top of a tripod plate.Plus, the torque created by a long pole's weight may just rip the tiny 1/4 screw right off the tripod.

Q: 3. I want to use this as a subsitute to my tripod when shooting with my Lumix G85. What other accessories will I need to do that. Can I attach an arca plate directly on this?

A: While I may recommend purchasing a ball head (such as the Benro IH2 Single Action Ball Head, B&H # BEIH2SAB) so you could position the camera on the clamp, I would recommend the Oben QRA-A2 Quick Release Assembly with QR-10 Plate, B&H # OBQRAA2, along with the Impact Short Double Male Stud for Super Clamps with 1/4"-20 & 3/8" Threads, B&H # IMSRP104, for your usage needs. This would allow you to connect the Oben QRA-A2 (which is Arca-compatible) directly to the Impact Super Clamp with Ratchet Handle.

Q: 8. I'm trying to use this on a C-Stand grip head (attached to the c stand obviously) to balance my gimbal (Defy G5). Is this practical ?

A: Yes you can do that but Id be safer and balance it on a tripod using a tripod plate. Ive had one of these clamps crack in me and the weight of your camera plus gimbal may be pushing it. Hope this helps.
