Clamping Insert for G-Lock 21.7 mm (3 pcs) — Manfrotto D106240

Manfrotto clamping insert set for G-Lock with 21.7 mm diameter, supplied as a pack of three pieces. These inserts are intended to replace or upgrade the internal clamping components of compatible G-Lock systems, providing a precise fit for 21.7 mm tubes or rods used in photography and videography rigs. The design focuses on maintaining a secure mechanical connection between supports and accessories while preserving the original positioning and alignment of mounted equipment.

Advantages

The three-piece set offers consistent clamping performance across multiple contact points and allows quick replacement without modifying the outer housing. Manufactured to fit G-Lock housings that accept 21.7 mm inserts, these components restore or improve grip reliability and reduce play between the clamping mechanism and the mounted tube. Their compact, form-fitting shape simplifies installation and helps ensure repeatable positioning for tripods, rigs and modular support systems.

Suitable for

• Replacing worn or damaged clamping inserts in G-Lock systems that use 21.7 mm tubes
• Upgrading modular supports and camera rigs to secure 21.7 mm rods
• Maintenance kits for rental or professional equipment that require consistent clamping performance

Key specifications

• Quantity: 3 pieces per set
• Designed inner diameter fit: 21.7 mm tubes/rods
• Compatibility: for use with G-Lock style clamping housings that accept 21.7 mm inserts
• Function: internal clamping/retention component for secure attachment

How to use

Remove the G-Lock housing cover or fasteners according to the manufacturer's instructions and extract the old or damaged insert(s). Align the new 21.7 mm insert with the housing recess and press it into place until it seats securely. Reassemble the housing and test the clamp with the intended tube or rod to confirm correct fit and clamping force. Repeat the procedure for additional inserts if working with multi-point clamping systems.

Usage recommendations

Inspect inserted components periodically for wear and ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris. Tighten clamping fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended torque and avoid over-tightening to prevent deformation of the insert or the clamped tube. Use replacement inserts from compatible manufacturers or approved spares to maintain reliable performance.
