Manfrotto lower clamp inserts d14.7 set of 3 (MPN D106218)

Set of three Manfrotto lower clamp inserts with an inner diameter of 14.7 mm designed as replacement parts for compatible Manfrotto clamps and support systems. These inserts fit into lower clamp housings to provide a secure, precise seating for tubes and rods with a 14.7 mm external diameter. The set is intended for maintenance, repair, or adaptation of stands, booms and rigs used in studio and location photography.

Advantages

These lower clamp inserts are manufactured to match Manfrotto mechanical tolerances, ensuring consistent fit and alignment with compatible clamps. Supplied in a set of three, they allow straightforward replacement of worn or damaged inserts, restoring clamping performance and reducing slippage. The rigid construction ensures stable support for 14.7 mm tubes while enabling quick installation without specialist tools.

Suitable for

• Replacing worn lower clamp inserts on Manfrotto clamps and support stands
• Adapting rigs to accept 14.7 mm diameter tubes or rods
• Field and studio maintenance of light stands, booms, and extension arms

Key specifications

• Set quantity: 3 inserts
• Inner diameter: 14.7 mm
• Type: lower clamp insert for tube/rod support
• Compatibility: designed for compatible Manfrotto clamps and support systems
• Material: engineered for mechanical stability and wear resistance

How to use

Remove the existing insert from the lower clamp housing by loosening the clamp mechanism and extracting the worn piece. Align the replacement insert with the clamp bore and press it into position until it seats fully. Reassemble the clamp and tighten to the recommended torque of the clamp manufacturer. Verify that a 14.7 mm tube or rod is supported securely and that the clamp closes without excessive play.

Usage recommendations

Inspect inserts periodically for wear or deformation and replace the set when signs of scoring or looseness appear. Use inserts only with tubes or rods that match the specified 14.7 mm diameter to maintain safe clamping performance. Avoid overtightening the clamp to reduce material fatigue and ensure consistent operation.
