What the Takeway Clampod System Offers

The Takeway Clampod is a compact, versatile clamping system that lets you attach a camera, smartphone, or action camera to a wide range of surfaces. Its modular design means you can swap accessories to match your shooting style, whether you're filming from a bicycle, setting up a time-lapse on a railing, or mounting a tablet for a presentation.

Because the system relies on interchangeable parts, getting the best performance depends on choosing the right combination of clamp, head, and holder for your gear. Here's how to set up the Takeway Clampod for common scenarios.

Key Accessories for Different Mounting Needs

The Takeway Clampod family includes several accessories that change how the clamp holds your device. Matching the accessory to your device type and activity is the most important step.

  • Mini Ball Head TYB01: Designed for use with the Takeway Ranger R1, Takeway G1 Tripod, or Takeway Flex Neck. It has a load capacity of 3 kg and features a quick release plate, making it ideal for swapping between a camera and a smartphone holder.
  • Smartphone holder for Sports T-PH02: This holder is built for dynamic use – motorcycles, bicycles, scooters, skateboarding. The supplied evidence states that even with violent shaking, a smartphone will not easily fall out. It fits smartphones from 4” to 5.7” in size.
  • Tablet holder T-TH01: Compatible with tablets from 7” to 10.2” – such as iPad, Note 10.1. You can adjust the size of the holder to fit your tablet securely.
  • Takeway Flex Neck TYFN01: A flexible neck, 11 cm in length, that fits the camera plate on the T1 and R1 Takeway Clamps and also the T-B01 Ball head. Its bending action enables more extreme angles – around corners and underneath objects.

Setting Up the Clampod for a Smartphone or Action Camera

Start by attaching the Takeway Clamp to a stable surface – a table edge, bike handlebar, or railing. Tighten the clamp screw until the jaw grips firmly. The clamp's inner jaw can be replaced if worn; spare parts include an inner jaw (T-IJ01) and a quick release clip with notch for action cams.

For a smartphone, use the T-PH02 sporty phone holder. Slide your phone in and adjust the holder width until it's snug. The holder has a screw hole at the back – you can attach it directly to the clamp's quick release plate or to a ball head if you need tilt and pan adjustment.

For an action camera, choose the quick release clip for action cam (available as a spare part) and attach it to the clamp. This gives you a low-profile, secure mount that can handle vibration.

What the Setup Does Not Cover

The supplied evidence does not include step-by-step instructions for every possible combination of clamp, head, and holder. For example, it does not specify torque settings, recommended tightening force, or exact alignment steps for the tablet holder. Always test the grip before trusting the clamp with expensive gear, especially in dynamic situations. The system is modular, so you may need to experiment with the order of attachment to find the most stable arrangement for your specific setup.
