The clamp part is removed from the base and fitted with a 5/8" pin, which can be grabbed by a grip (or gobo) head, removed from the c-stand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-Stand The clamp is tightened to the back of a film magazine (at the back of the camera) when mounting camera on ferarri, motorcycle, blimp, helicopter, donkey, etc.. The pin is grabbed by at least two grip arms (to triangulate to other solidly mounted clamps) and the whole arrangement prevents camera shake.
