Induro Tripods 490-072 QRT70X Quick Release Clamp (Black)

[Music] I'm often asked which is better a quick release clamp with a lever or a quick release clamp with a knob well they both have their advantages and knob is simpler lighter and has less moving parts a knob also has more clamping force than a lever this is because most lever type quick release clamps use a spring to transmit the clamping force to the quick release plate whereas a knob transmits this force directly this is usually only an issue with large telephoto lenses many people also want to know which is faster and easier a lever or a knob well the lever does take a little more force to close but the motion is simpler so it's really more a matter of personal preference whether you would rather flip a lever or twist a knob a big advantage at barak or take locking lever is that you cannot loosen it by accidentally rubbing or bumping it into something you have to depress lock in or
