Aluminium Grid Clamps

Matthews Studio Equipment introduces its first aluminium grid clamp collection, engineered for the demanding environments of live production, cinema and television. These lightweight aluminium clamps make rigging faster and logistics easier without compromising on the legendary strength and reliability that professionals have trusted from Matthews Grid Clamps for decades.

Available in four versatile configurations, the collection supports everything from hanging parcans and building pipe grids to complex multi-angle rigging set-ups. A standout innovation is the Baby Pin model, which is the only aluminium grid clamp on the market to feature a steel baby pin, engineered to resist crushing where all-aluminium designs fail. All clamps mount to 1.5" (38mm) to 2" (51mm) OD pipe and feature a professional black anodised finish with the iconic Matthews ‘m’ logo.
