Matthews MQ Mount for LED and Fluorescent Light Tubes

I originally got these for my Quasar RGB and they work great. However, on Astera Titans and Nanlite Tubes which are slightly wider in diameter, these mounts do NOT clamp tight enough and the tubes can fall out unless you crank it down.

I have now replaced my other mounts for my Quasar Rainbow tubes with these. They are hands down the easiest, safest, and simplest of all the single tube mounting solutions. Don't even think about it but one for each tube you own.

Use MQ Mounts with Nanguang/Nanlite Pavolite LED tubes. The mount is sturdy and reliable, and does not damage the tubes one iota. Worth a bit extra to make sure your tubes are solidly mounted.

I am using this with Quasar Science Q-LED Crossfade LED tube lights, and it is perfect. It maintains a solid hold on the light, with no worry about it slipping or moving. It can be used to grip in the middle or at one end. The plastic jaws do not crush or mar the fixture at all. The MQ Mount lives up to the quality and strength of Matthews products. It needs to be used with a grip head (gobo head). As a total solution, it is a little expensive and over-engineered, but I cant complain about the results. It is so solid and worry-free, it is definitely worth the premium cost. Compare this to the Kupo KCP-413, which I have also used: The metal spring clips are only so strong, and they scratched up the aluminum housing of the light the first time I tried it. The built-in swivel is redundant, since it too must be used with a grip head. I would definitely recommend this product for this application, and as I build up my collection of Quasars, I will be sure to have MQ Mounts to go with them. I have NOT used this with bare Kino Flo tubes.
