Kirk TLB-1QRL Overview

The black and silver satin anodized aluminum and steel TLB-1QRL Leveling Base with TQR-2L Tripod Head Quick Disconnect System and Large Plate from Kirk Enterprises attaches to a tripod via its 3/8"-16 mounting socket. This leveling base has an adjustment range of 32°, which is +/-17° in any direction. You can lock the position into place with the over-sized locking wing nut, and the leveler is capable of supporting a load capacity of 25 lb. This Quick Disconnect System provides a quick release that enables you to quickly switch out many types of tripod heads for different photographic applications.

The large plate is designed to fit tripod heads with an approximate base diameter of 2.25" or over. A laser-engraved scale on top of the clamp allows accurate positioning of the plate, which is then secured into place by turning the screw locking knob on the clamp. Set screws are included to secure the clamp to the tripod and the plate to the head and to prevent them from moving while mounted together. In addition, a bubble level is located on the side of the clamp to level out your horizon.

Very quick replacement of heads.

Solid Build, Arc_ Compatible

I bought this head because I liked the integrated Arc_-style mount. I liked the RRS version as well, but don't love lever disconnects and the price with the plate was higher. I have several ball heads, but don't really need the full flexibility of a ball head as I shoot 0 or 90 degrees and have an L-bracket on my bodies. This head allows me to level it out on setup and then I can put any body on it--portrait or landscape--without having to re-level every time. Liked it enough to buy another for my larger tripod.

The above is incorrect. I tested two different Arca-size plates and both worked fine.

I can not find the definition of "TQR-1S" or "TQR-2L" compatibility. Are any of these Arca-swiss or RRS compatible??
Asked by: Eric
The top of the TLB-1QRL Leveling Base with TQR-2L is Arca type.
