question

How balanced is this receiver? I'd love to add it to my gimbal but not if it's particularly heavy on one side (which was what I discovered when trying to do the same thing with a manfrotto receiver)
Asked by: Zak
The Kwik Release Receiver from Kessler Crane is well balanced.

DO YOU HAVE THE V2 VERSION ?

DO YOU HAVE THE V2 VERSION ?
Asked by: Adam
A B and H staff member has already confirmed this is the second version of this product. I have two of these. They are very pricey, but by far the best quick release mount available. I'm using one on my tripod head and another on a Stroboframe off-camera flash bracket. The red sliding bar allows for easily and securely placing your camera in the mount with one hand. Closing the leaver firmly locks it in place.

question

Does this have 1/8 mounting holes? What is the physical dimensions? Will this mount this to a steadicam solo?
Asked by: Troy
We believe you mean 3/8 -16 or 1/4 -20 mounting threads. It has both of these. These are the two world standard tripod mounting sizes.

Will the arca swiss plate that comprises part of the weebill s quick release fit in this?
Asked by: Caleb
Hello Caleb, I am not familiar with the "weebill". But it does fit Acratech, Kirk, Desmond....and their own dovetail plates of course. With the help of a machine shop.... I adapted an Acratech Long Lens Head to work with this clamp. Previously it was mounted on a Gitzo g1570. You become accustomed to this big honkin' platform. I hope this is helpful information. Respectfully, Joseph from the U.S.A. in the Philippines
