Adjustable bracket for solar panel

[Budawang]

Does anyone know where I could purchase this adjustable bracket for attaching a solar panel to a horizontal stainless tube across two stanchions? It allows you to easily tilt the panel from a vertical to a horizontal position. I already have this setup on one side of my boat and it works great, but I can't find these brackets online.

To clarify: I don't need exactly the same model but something similar: A bracket that can attach a solar panel to a stainless tube to allow it to pivot. Ideally with a hand-adjustable tensioner.

I am looking for exactly the same thing. If no responses I am tempted to mfg and sell them myself. These are useful as heck. It is so stupid simple you would think they would be all over the place.

I realize this is not what you are looking for but it is something that is close. I have a magma BBQ and these do very well supporting the cantilevered BBQ weight.

In desperation I have considered buying a couple of these to start fab on an SA bracket with an adjustable support leg running to the middle rail of my pushpit. I need the leg because I have a larger array (100 watt panel) with a lot of overhang. The leg makes adjustment a little easier too.

The problem is the resulting assembly is quite expensive IMO, around $150 to $160 all in.
Shopping around might yield a better price on the magma mount, just used Amazon cause it's an easy link.

I’ve used these and they held our panels quite well for 3 years now. They are great. We use them for our homemade cockpit table also.
Highest recorded wins over panels was 78mph during a summer storm.
I actually got mine from a local marine solar panel dealer in ft Lauderdale. They were not really available Online when I purchased

Thanks everyone. Good to see there is something similar available online.

Coincidentally I saw what looks like an identical clamp to mine on the latest Drake Paragon video.

I saw these but couldn't figure out how you attach a rail for the array mount. Do you happen to have a pic of how you did it?

Edit: Oh, I think I got it, there are through bolts that allow you to attach stuff to the surface opposite the tightening screw. These was a description at Seadog.

Budawang I don't mean to hijack your thread but we have the exact same need for clamps.

Yup there’s a thru bolt that clamps it down on one side and some mounting holes for attaching the hardware on the other side. I can get a picture tomorrow if you need but it’s pretty simple and so far pretty rugged.

We use 6 of them to attach a aluminum bar to the Bimini frame then attached the panels to the bar.

Warehouse marine has them for $26 (that's for 2)

Thanks for pic offer but I think I am good. I found some detailed pictures of the clamps and it was clear how you attach gear to them.
