Triad-Orbit IO-C2 Mini Clamp

Triad-Orbit IO-C2 Mini Clamp – iO-Equipped Dual Jaw Mounting Solution

The Triad-Orbit IO-C2 Mini Clamp is the ultimate solution for creators, performers, and professionals who demand uncompromising versatility, durability, and precision when securing their gear in studio, stage, or field environments. Designed with Triad-Orbit’s renowned innovation, this compact yet powerful clamp integrates the industry-leading iO quick-change coupler, allowing lightning-fast swaps between microphones, cameras, tablets, lights, and accessories without the hassle of rethreading or downtime—making it a productivity powerhouse. At its core lies a dual-opening jaw system reinforced with silicone-coated interiors, giving you both strength and surface protection; the larger opening grips confidently onto stands, booms, or truss systems, while the smaller jaw secures slender rods, bar stock, or unique mounting points often overlooked by ordinary clamps. With three distinct grip depths—pinch, medium, and full-depth—the IO-C2 adapts seamlessly to almost any mounting scenario, ensuring stable, rattle-free connections even in demanding setups. Engineered for reliability, it boasts a wide clamping range of 8 mm to 38 mm (0.31″–1.5″), making it suitable for everything from delicate tabletop rigs to heavy-duty stage frameworks, while its robust 1 lb steel-and-composite body guarantees long-lasting durability in the harshest environments. Measuring a practical 6 × 4 × 1 inches, the IO-C2 maintains a compact profile that fits easily in a gig bag or equipment case without compromising strength, making it ideal for mobile professionals, live engineers, and recording artists who need flexibility on the go. Every element of its construction, from the ergonomic tightening mechanism to the rubberized protective coating, is designed not just for function but for peace of mind, ensuring your gear remains both secure and scratch-free. Unlike generic clamps, the IO-C2 isn’t just a grip tool—it’s an integral part of the Triad-Orbit ecosystem, meaning it scales with you: attach extension arms, connect multiple accessories, or pivot between applications without wasting valuable time or risking stability. This future-ready design doesn’t just solve today’s rigging challenges; it empowers you to expand creatively, offering the freedom to build complex, multi-device setups with confidence. For professionals choosing between ordinary clamps and advanced hardware, the difference is clear: while standard options often slip, strip, or scratch surfaces, the IO-C2 combines heavy-duty performance with surface-friendly precision, giving you reliability you can trust when stakes are high. Whether you’re securing a microphone for a live broadcast, mounting a tablet for on-stage monitoring, or rigging a light for precise studio control, the IO-C2 delivers unmatched adaptability and stability that protects your investment and elevates your workflow. With its black, round-jaw design, lightweight portability, and the hallmark precision engineering Triad-Orbit is known for, this clamp stands head and shoulders above its competitors, making it the smart choice for professionals who refuse to compromise. In short, the Triad-Orbit IO-C2 Mini Clamp isn’t just another piece of hardware—it’s a commercial-grade solution built to streamline your setup, maximize creative freedom, and give you the confidence to focus on performance, not problem-solving. If you want a clamp that’s built to do more, hold stronger, and last longer, this is the one to buy.

Features:

Dual-Opening Jaw Design for Maximum Versatility

The IO-C2 sets itself apart with a two-in-one clamping system. Unlike standard clamps that only cater to one type of surface, it features both a large jaw opening for securing mic stands, booms, and truss systems, and a smaller opening designed specifically for slender rods, bars, or unusual mounting points. This dual-opening design ensures that no matter the environment—studio, stage, or field—you always have the right tool for the job. It removes the frustration of carrying multiple clamps and gives you one reliable device that adapts to virtually any rigging scenario.

Three Grip Depths for Customizable Stability

At the heart of the IO-C2 is its variated vice-jaw technology, which provides three distinct grip depths: a pinch grip for shallow edges, a medium-depth grip for frames or table edges, and a full-depth grip for rod or bar stock. This level of adaptability means that the clamp doesn’t just attach to your setup—it molds itself to it. By offering multiple contact depths, it creates a stronger, more stable connection, ensuring your equipment stays firmly in place regardless of how unconventional the mounting point might be.

iO Quick-Change Coupler for Rapid Gear Swaps

The built-in iO quick-change system revolutionizes how you set up and adjust gear. Instead of wasting time unthreading and rethreading accessories, you can attach, detach, and swap microphones, cameras, lights, or tablets in seconds. This system is particularly valuable in high-pressure environments such as live performances or recording sessions, where efficiency directly impacts productivity. Being part of the wider Triad-Orbit ecosystem also means the clamp integrates seamlessly with other accessories, making your rig highly expandable and future-proof.

Surface-Safe Silicone and Rubberized Protection

One of the most overlooked issues with clamps is surface damage. The IO-C2 addresses this with silicone-coated and rubber-padded inner jaws, designed to provide a firm hold without scratching or marring your equipment. Whether you’re clamping to an expensive boom arm, polished truss, or a delicate instrument stand, you can trust that the clamp will leave no marks. This makes it not only professional-grade but also gear-friendly, protecting your investment over time.

Wide Clamping Range for Universal Compatibility

With a clamping range of 8 mm to 38 mm (0.31″–1.5″), the IO-C2 is built to accommodate everything from slim rods to hefty stands. This broad range eliminates compatibility headaches, giving you the freedom to clamp wherever your creativity takes you. Whether you’re working in tight studio spaces or rigging up a complex live production, the IO-C2 ensures your gear has a secure, stable anchor point.

Compact but Heavy-Duty Construction

Despite its small footprint—measuring just 6 × 4 × 1 inches and weighing a manageable 1 lb—the IO-C2 delivers heavy-duty performance. Its robust steel-and-composite body ensures long-lasting durability while maintaining portability. This balance makes it ideal for professionals who travel frequently and need hardware that won’t fail in demanding situations. Its compact size means it fits neatly in any equipment case, yet its strength rivals much larger clamps.

Ideal for Heavier Devices and Extended Rigs

While many mini clamps struggle with heavier or extended setups, the IO-C2 excels. Its thoughtful engineering allows it to hold heavier devices like cameras, tablets, and monitors, as well as manage long extension arms without slippage. This makes it the go-to choice for users who demand more than just a “light-duty” clamp, offering peace of mind when working with valuable or weighty gear.

Seamless Integration into the Triad-Orbit Ecosystem

The IO-C2 isn’t just a standalone accessory—it’s part of the larger Triad-Orbit modular ecosystem. This means you can expand your setup with extension arms, adapters, and holders, all designed to work together without compatibility issues. For professionals who want scalable solutions that grow with their needs, the IO-C2 is not only a clamp—it’s the foundation for a versatile, interconnected rigging system.
