The Tilta Armor Man 3.0 Universal Gimbal Ring Adapter Clamps attach to a ring-based gimbal in order to connect to the Armor Man arms by quick release. They're for use in standard operating mode (as opposed to overhead mode). Included are two clamps that attach to the top corners of the gimbal ring. Also required for this workflow are the Armor Man 3.0 Universal Gimbal Ring Adapters. The adapters attach to the arms, and the clamps connect to the adapters by quick release.
