DinkumSystems™ was previously known as The Clamp Flag Company and is the brainchild of cinematographer and inventor John Mans. The company was rebranded in mid-2009 to reflect the inter-connecting and expanded nature of the range. The quirky and unusual name of DinkumSystems™ came into being during an intense 100-day shoot that John spent on a ship in the Southern Ocean. Being stuck in a confined space with several Australian camera operators during the filming of Animal Planets’ highly successful TV series “Whale Wars” expanded John’s vocabulary to include the well-known Aussie colloquialism of something being “…fair dinkum”.
