Really Right Stuff Quick-Release Clamps
All Really Right Stuff clamps are precision-machined
in the USA from solid aircraft-grade aluminum and
finished in a beautiful matte-black anodize. Excess
mass is removed to minimize weight and all corners
are radiused for comfort and beauty. Most clamps are
contoured to incorporate a high contrast spirit level for
quick initial leveling in the field, and safety stop relief
grooves allow for generous adjustability. All Really Right
Stuff clamps are guaranteed (materials & workmanship)
for 5 years.
Two Clamping Styles:
Clamp jaws open and close in
one of two ways: by twisting a knurled knob on our
tried & true screw-knob clamps; or by flipping a single
lever on our innovative, patented lever-release clamps (see note about lever-release clamps).
Two Mounting Styles:
All clamps mount onto heads
in one of two ways: They either spin onto an exposed
male threaded stud (threaded either ¼"-20 or 3⁄8"-16),
or they drop onto a female tapped socket (tapped
either ¼"-20 or metric 6-1.0) and are secured with
a screw from above. Choose models with a threaded
center socket if spinning clamp onto a threaded stud.
Choose models with a non-threaded ("thru-hole")
center if mounting clamp on any ballhead from Really
Right Stuff, any current model Arca-Swiss, and some
Manfrotto models. See Clamp Selector Table for help in choosing the proper clamp.

Two Lengths:
Our standard length clamps, with 60mm
(2.4-inch) long clamping jaws, are suitable for most
photography. Choose our longer clamps with 80mm
(3.2-inch) long clamping jaws for large format or super telephotos—
heavy artillery.

Lever-Release Clamps:
for all quick-release plates from Really Right Stuff and Wimberley
The graceful Stainless Steel “S”-shaped cam-locking
lever provides desirable benefits over traditional screw knob
clamps:
Easy Top-Loading: In one quick action, the clamp can
go from closed to fully open, allowing easy top-loading
of Arca-Swiss-compatible quick-release camera and lens
plates. No more lost shots while fumbling to feed the
plates into the end of the clamp.
Visual Confirmation of Lock Position: You can readily
observe if the lever is locked, half-open or fully open.
Low Profile: The lever does not protrude above or
below the top or bottom of the clamp, and, in the
closed position, the lever closely hugs the contours of
the clamp. This makes it less of a “weed catcher” in the
field and reduces the chance of being damaged in a fall.
Less Abrasive, No Twisting: The smooth contours of
the lever are less abrasive than standard knurled knobs,
and for those with arthritic hands, the graceful lever
cams open and closed with just finger force.
Super Tough, Reliable: The Stainless Steel lever delivers
a lifetime of wear and rides on a self-lubricating,
wear-resistant bronze bearing surface. Delivers 50 lbs. of
holding power under full compression (the fully closed
position) with our plates. This is more than sufficient
for any practical photographic application.
Use only with Really Right Stuff or Wimberley plates: See note about lever-release clamps.
Screw-Knob Clamps:
the traditional clamp for all applications
Traditional screw-knob quick-release clamps can sustain as much weight and stress as any tripod head can bear—and then some! Also perfect for monopod use. 
Captive Knob: Knob stops at maximum opening— cannot be lost in the field.
Refined Knurling: Beautifully contoured with raised edges and a domed end to improve aesthetics and feel.
Light Weight: Screw-knob clamps are about 15% lighter than their lever-release counterparts. |

Quick Release Clamps
NOTE ABOUT LEVER-RELEASE CLAMPS: Due to wide variations in other brands of Arca-Swiss compatible plates, we recommend using our lever-release clamps only with Really Right Stuff or Wimberley brand quick-release plates. To ensure compatibility with our lever-release clamps, we do offer a plate trade-in discount. If you already own Arca-style plates from other manufacturers (Kirk, Foba, Markins, AcraTech, Novoflex, or Arca-Swiss), we offer a $22.50 exchange discount towards purchase of a Really Right Stuff quick-release plate. Plate exchange only for identical model; you must send us your plate in advance to qualify for this discount.
