Kirk QRC-1.8 Overview

The 1.8" Quick Release Clamp with Classic Locking Knob from Kirk is designed to hold Arca-type compatible plates and mounts. The clamp is made of 6061-T6 aluminum, and it is anodized in a black and satin silver finish.

This 1.8" quick release receiver features a classic locking knob with a large, knurled design. Kirk's patented quick turn technology enables the clamp to open or close faster. With a counterclockwise 1/8-turn you can reposition the plate, or completely remove it with a half-turn. On the top of the clamp the laser-engraved sensor center lines help better position the camera when taking a photograph. The clamp has a recessed hole on its side to store the included 5/32" hex wrench.

NOTE: This clamp does not include a quick-release plate.

Well built clamp

I bought this clamp to connect my Peak Design strap to the feet of my large telephoto lenses. It makes it easy to switch from one lens to another. I also plan to use it with my Cotton Carrier.

exactly what I expected

I bought this to update my 40 yr. old copy stand. All my cameras and lenses have Arca-Swiss plates, so this clamp makes it much easier to attach my gear. It has the added benefit that I can take advantage of the L-brackets on my camera and mount them in portrait orientation and copy larger items than being restricted to landscape only by the original thread mount.

The Kirk 1.8" Quick Release Clamp is designed to go on tripods that do not have a quick-release clamp. The tripod will have the center bolt.

Does this version that B+H carries have the smaller safety stop that the version on Kirk's page does?
Asked by: Jay T.
This is the same 1.8 in Quick Release Clamp Kirk shows on it's web page.

Is this for a 1/4 20 or 3/8 20 screw from below?

Is this for a 1/4 20 or 3/8 20 screw from below?
Asked by: Brett
Mine is 1/4-20. If that doesn't work you can use a 1/4 to 3/8 adapter.
