You can mount any size clamp onto these rails and are not limited to a 1.00 or 1.50 inch clamp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome camera L brackets are designed with cuts on the sides to let you access a connection on the left side. If this is the case, a 1.50 inch clamp or nodal slide with integrated clamp will not work because there is simply no room to engage the clamp jaws. Heavier equipment also requires a wider clamp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you own a clamp from any manufacturer you can mount it on these rails. The packages of individual rails includes \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2 dowel pins that prevent the clamp from twisting. If you own a clamp with a groove it will help placing the pin(s) into the rail hole and aligning it with the groove on the clamp. My own Hejnar Photo clamps incorporate extra holes for aligning the clamp on the rail and preventing it from twisting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome clamps you will have to mount without any pins, since they do not have any opening where the anti twisting pins can be inserted. In that situation you can use an index stop bar (sold separately) to prevent the clamp from twisting. As you can see on the pictures, the clamp can be placed on the rail in orientation where the clamp knob is on its back or on its side.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you want the clamp to go higher so that the end of the rail will not be visible in your viewfinder you can use a 1\/4 or 3\/8 spacer block (sold separately.)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"10-00-inch-panoramic-nodal-slide-rail-base-dual-sl","title":"10.00\" Panoramic Nodal Slide Rail Base | Extended Dual-Slot Utility","description":"\u003c!-- ===================== GRAY BANNER ===================== --\u003e \n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#e5e5e5;padding:12px 15px;margin-bottom:18px;\"\u003e \n    \u003cstrong\u003eHejnar Photo 10.00 x 5\/8 Inch Panoramic Nodal Slide Rail Base with Built-In Bubble Level\u003c\/strong\u003e \n\u003c\/div\u003e \n\n\u003c!-- ===================== SEO BLOCK (TOP) ===================== --\u003e \n\u003ch1\u003e10.00\" Panoramic Nodal Slide Rail Base | Extended Dual-Slot Utility\u003c\/h1\u003e \n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eHejnar Photo 10.00-Inch Multi-Purpose Rail Base\u003c\/strong\u003e is a heavy-duty calibration component engineered to completely eliminate parallax errors during multi-frame panoramic stitching workflows.
