    How these sliding fixers are called?

    Many cameras and lens board adapters come with metal sliding fixers for lens boards. Do these fixers have a specific name?

    In the link you provided, Grimes refers to them as a “sliding clamp.” As good a name as any other you’ll hear.

    I would say "lens board retainer/ retainer set" But others work as well.
