I would like a clamp for the Rega but as the spindle is not very tall I am concerned the type of clamp that locks on the spindle may not have enough to grip on.

I do not want to use a heavy weight as the Rega motor is pretty weak knee'd.

I have heard that the JA Michell clamp needs 8mm to work.

Any input?

I used a Sota reflex clamp when I had a P3 and it worked perfectly. The Michell clamp did not. This was several years ago, however, so I don't know if that would hold true today. But I'm quite sure the Sota would still work fine.
