The Uni-bracket is the Swiss army knife of the field photographer / astronomer.

It is a multipurpose universal mounting bracket or orthogonal clamping system.

Each kit contains; The base Uni-Bracket, the locking bar, two long screws (either 4” or 2”), two

short wing screws (3/8”) and four wing nuts. All parts are stainless steel. Slotted locking bar for

quick installation and removal without having to take out a screw.

There are four models to choose from

The long or short (depending on length of screws) and either brushed Stainless or Black powder

coated. The are made out of a high strength, rust- proof, anti-magnetic metal alloy 1/8 inch thick.

Depending on how they are used they can hold up to many hundreds of pounds.
