Kirk QRC-3.18EK Reviews

Outstanding Quality

This clamp looks and feels like it will last a few lifetimes. Perfect fit and finish and has some heft to it. The long screw handle is easy to grip and has a pleasing super smooth, firm action. Absolutely no wobble or gear backlash. Sort of reminds me of stirring honey! Unlike other clamps you only need to turn the screw about 3/4 turn to remove or tighten your camera. You can tell with confidence it has a strong secure hold. The wider clamping area is great for l-brackets or a long lens foot. I'm glad I didn't go cheap.

Excellent quality!
