Overview
This stainless steel bolt was originally designed by Astera for use with the now-discontinued AX10 and AX7 fixtures. While these lights are no longer in production, many remain in service—and this bolt remains an essential rigging accessory for flush-mounting them using clamps.
Purpose-Built for Clamps
The bolt was engineered to interface with EU-style Mafer clamps and Manfrotto-style Super Clamps, offering a precise fit and secure grip. When used in combination with these clamps, the bolt mounts flush to the yoke of the AX10 or AX7, keeping your rig tight and minimizing unwanted movement.
Key Benefits
- Flush yoke alignment — eliminates offset and keeps fixtures close to pipe or truss
- Clamp compatible — works with Super Clamps, Mafer-style clamps, and other industry-standard grip tools
- Stainless steel construction — corrosion-resistant and long-lasting
- Ideal for discontinued lights — supports continued use of AX7 and AX10 series
Why It Matters
Standard rigging bolts often create an offset that makes precise aiming or compact placement difficult. This bolt solves that by sitting nearly flush against the yoke—an intentional design choice made by Astera’s German engineering team. It’s a small part with a big impact on rigging efficiency.
