About

So we didn’t quite reach our goal, but don’t be too bummed out!

Thank you to everyone who supported our Kickstarter project! It is unfortunate we did not reach our target, but we did learn an incredible amount from all of you. We still believe in our product, so we are going back to the drawing board on a few items and incorporating some of the great ideas and feedback we have received.

We will re-launch the updated product range soon, likely in a reduced form and probably under a different brand name. Thank you again for all your support throughout the campaign!

We look forward to re-launching an even more awesome product that includes all your great ideas.

Cheers,

Ben

Hi Kickstarter!

We are really excited to be here launching our first project. If you are passionate about riding bikes and capturing the experience we believe you are going to love the klamp product range.

Exciting and unbelievable moments happen when we are on our bikes; sometimes some footage would be good proof to back up our stories at the bar.

Action cameras are everywhere, allowing us to capture technical downhill runs, our favourite single track, or great shots of our buddies on the trail; but, their technical convenience lacks finesse and control over the shots you can get. As active riders we understand that with the right camera and mounts, we can have creative freedom to capture the unbelievable moments of our ride, with the quality they deserve.

We were tired of returning home from our amazing riding trips, in truly spectacular country, only to find we had managed to gather almost no usable footage. From inception klamp has been about riding and sharing our experinces. klamp mounts are simple, flexible and robust. Created with incredible materials including carbon fibre and titanium, our purpose is to produce better action shots and highly functional products.

That’s why we created klamp – the world’s best mounting solution, designed by riders, built for riders.

We’re stoked with the product range and we think you will be too. If you are a rider with the need to capture and share your most unbelievable and adrenaline pumping moments then help us take klamp from an amazing prototype to a production reality.

Truly First, Patented Features

The klamp camera arms are truly an industry first design; containing a sealed 8-way indexer, our mounts give you more freedom to choose how you frame your shots.

Relocating the camera arm is quick, easy and requires no tools. klamp camera arms are available for GoPro, Garmin VIRB, Sony Actioncam and Shimano cameras.

The built in, internal dampening is appropriate for certain types and disciplines of riding, and can help smooth out vibrations.

Mount Your Camera Anywhere

We’re really excited about our klamp universal ‘Big-Bar’ mount, we think it’s a game changer! The ‘Big-Bar’ is designed to klamp securely onto larger bars and tubes up to 75mm diameter. Our design means you can klamp your gear almost anywhere you can think of. It will easily attach to places like your downtube, or front forks; without tools and without damaging your paintwork.

Use the Gear You Already Own!

The klamp range allows you to use most of the gear you already own and love. With our simple adapter, your GoPro Chesty, camera poles and other gear will become simpler to use; enahanced by klamp’s quick connect / disconnect feature.

Mount Multiple Devices at Once

klamp’s stackable mounts allow you to make better use of your accessories and cockpit space. klamp a Garmin Edge or a Wi-Fi remote to the location of your choice and you still have the ability to attach another accessory on the same mount. klamp a Garmin Edge and a klamp LED lamp or a huge variety of other combinations.

Our Expertise & Qualifications

Our lead designer has developed military equipment for use by some of the world’s premier Special Operations units. He understands function and because no self-respecting operator in the Special Operations community will use anything less than the best equipment; he is a master of form.

His previous clients are some of the toughest people on earth and are equally tough on their equipment. As a special thank you to the Kickstarter community, and because we are confident of the durability of klamp products, we are offering a Kickstarter special 3 year unconditional warranty!

Advanced Materials

The Klamp range is compatible with all major action cameras and cycling computers on the market.

Born from a desire to capture better action footage from new and exciting angles, klamp allows you to use different action cameras on the same mounting bracket. Explore new camera angles, rapidly transition from one mounting location to another and adjust the shooting angle on the fly.

Efficiently use precious bar space; save it for important cockpit controls like shifters and brakes. Stackable options allow you to mount your action camera and remote, or your Garmin Edge computer and your camera. Then when you realise you are still out after dark, klamp on a set of our LED lamps and head home to edit your footage.

We have several full sets of our product range, which we continue to test internally. These prototypes have all been made with the final manufacturing process in mind so we are confident we can turn them into awesome, final products. Years of designing and delivering specialist military equipment has given us access to some valuable global contacts, expertise in production and the backing of proven, high quality suppliers.

We wanted it to be super simple to back our project, so for Kickstarter only, every item is just $19.00! You can buy a grab-bag of how ever many items you want! And the more you get the cheaper they are.

After Kickstarter you will have the chance to tell us exactly which items you want in your grab-bag!
