PC-LR: Lever Release Panning Clamp

The PC-LR Panning Clamp is a versatile accessory designed for precision horizontal panning. Featuring our patented lever-release clamp jaw and a lockable 360-degree panning bearing, it offers robust yet lightweight performance for single-row panorama shooting. The stainless-steel lever flips between closed, half-open, and fully open positions for instant status checks.

With a built-in dovetail base, the PC-LR mounts seamlessly onto any Really Right Stuff ball head clamp, eliminating the need for a leveling base in many setups. Thanks to the increased speed and accuracy of the panning clamp, setting up single-row panoramas becomes effortless.

For added convenience, the PC-LR includes a neoprene pouch for easy storage when not in use, reducing tripod setup weight for part-time panorama shooters. Additionally, it features a central 3/8"-16 threaded socket and comes with cap-head 1/4"-20 and M6 screws for direct mounting to Really Right Stuff and Arca-Swiss ball heads. Note: An adapter may be required if not mounting to the latest R-Mount compatible ball head.

As of 2020, all clamps feature an updated attachment style and will not sit flush with older ball heads. To resolve this, please refer to our Clamp Rosette Adapter.
