Verdict: Looks nice. Made like crap.

I’ll admit it, I was trying to do Arca-QR on a budget. What a waste of time. I ordered two of these from B&H because they were significantly cheaper than the alternatives and they came with plates (not totally useful plates, but plates nonetheless). Well, the first time I was tightening down the clamp after mounting it to my monopod, the knob snapped off. Prolly a fluke, but the knob is designed very very badly, it has a thin tubular section that basically takes all the stress from the knob. DUMB. In any case, I’m sending this and the one that’s not defective back to B&H (if they’ll take the defective one back) because I can’t really tolerate this knob snapping off when I need it most (like when trying to RELEASE my camera).

I’ve since ordered two Really Right Stuff B2 Pro clamps…
