Compatibility. Matthews The Claw is designed to safely mount Astera Titan and Helios lights, and T12 tube lights. Its industry-standard knurled 5/8" baby pin is compatible with any common rigging that has a 5/8" baby receiver, so you can use it to easily position tube lights in different places and configurations. The 5/8" pin includes a tapped female 1/4"-20 receiver, and it has a safety hole to let you further secure mounted lights.
Low-Profile, Safety-Intensive Design. The Claw’s pin mounts directly off the back of the tube, giving it an unobtrusive profile. You activate its threaded pin by rotating the winged handle, which clamps its four textured-rubber fingers more than 180° around the tube for maximum security. When a light isn’t actively mounted to The Claw, internal magnets keep its fingers in an open position.
