Kessler Crane MG1001 Reviews

Bloody Fantastic

By Robert
Rated 5 out of 5

Having owned literally multiple dozens of arca clamps over the years from manufacturers from the no-name to the ultra -premium, these are THE best bar none. I own two and they are HEAVY, large, built like Leopard tanks, lock securely, absolutely festooned with 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threaded and unthreaded sockets and operate like the advance lever on a Leica M6 - smooooth. No issues with any plates I have as yet, but the lock lever is also adjustable should there ever be. I shudder to think of the rig that could break one of these... Two clamps should do me, but if I ever need another arca clamp I know what I’m buying.

Worth The Money - Nothing Comes Close To This

It's Expensive Compared To Other Products But Absolutely Worth The Money. Because Of All The Holes On The Bottom I've Been Able To Mount It Using Two Screws To Everything I've Tried. With The Unique Safety Mechanism It Slips In And Out With Ease And Is Secure - Other Arca Systems That Use A Pin Can Sometimes Be A Pain To Get In Or Out. By Far The Best Product Of It's Type.
