The Vinten 3407-1A is a heavy-duty professional clamping accessory designed to securely mount camera support equipment to standard tubular scaffolding or structural pipe in production and broadcast environments. This 4-bolt flat base clamp provides a stable and adaptable interface, allowing users to attach flat-based camera heads, light stands, or other gear directly to vertical or horizontal scaffold tubes where a traditional tripod or pedestal is impractical or space is limited. Its robust construction is engineered for safety and reliability, capable of supporting substantial loads, making it an essential tool for rigging cameras in unconventional positions such as overhead shots, high-angle perspectives on stadiums or stages, or in cramped locations on set.

The clamp features a flat mounting plate with a standard bolt pattern, typically matching the footprint of many professional flat-base camera heads, ensuring a secure mechanical connection. The opposing side consists of a hinged, two-part jaw that securely grips the scaffold tube, tightened by four high-strength bolts to distribute clamping force evenly and prevent slippage or rotation. This design allows for quick attachment and repositioning while maintaining a firm hold, critical for ensuring camera stability and safety during operation. The clamp is often constructed from forged or high-grade steel with a durable finish to withstand the rigors of location work and resist corrosion.

Used extensively in outside broadcasts, film production, and event videography, the Vinten 3407-1A scaffold clamp exemplifies practical, problem-solving hardware for the industry. It expands the possibilities for camera placement, giving cinematographers and camera operators the freedom to achieve unique shots that would otherwise require more complex and expensive support structures. By providing a reliable and strong connection to ubiquitous scaffolding, it is a versatile and indispensable item in the kit of any professional crew working in variable and challenging physical environments.
