The DAC-60 60mm QR Clamp from Desmond is an Arca-type compatible quick release clamp. Made from aluminum, the clamp is 60mm long, and has a removable bull's eye bubble level. A numbered scale on both sides of the clamp allow for precise adjustments of your camera plate. The clamp has a 3/8"-16 thread, and includes a 1/4"-20 bushing adapter, so it can be mounted to most tripods or tripod heads.

I like the build quality, the moving parts are smooth and holds the plate securely.
Mine arrived with a Sunway photo tag inside, but it has the same model# and looks the same. The Desmond brand seems to be a little hit and miss as they seem to be reselling other companies products. It is quite heavy, basically a solid slab with no attempt made to remove material where not needed. It's far to heavy to be worth carrying in my bag given the lighter and still quite solid options out there even in this price range. To make matters worse, the 3/8 to 1/4-20 bushing provided is quite a loose fit in the threads, I can't imagine relying on it for a solid connection.
