Really Right Stuff PC-LR-40 Compact Lever-Release Style Panning Clamp, 2.1"

Enhance your photography experience with the PC-LR-40 Compact Lever-Release Style Panning Clamp, a meticulously engineered tool designed to facilitate precision horizontal panning for single-row panorama shots. This modular item is a testament to innovation, combining a patented lever-release clamp jaw with a lockable 360-degree panning bearing, offering photographers a robust yet lightweight solution for capturing expansive views with ease.

Crafted for speed and convenience, the PC-LR-40 features a patented stainless-steel lever that intuitively flips to three distinct positions - closed, half-open, and fully-open - allowing photographers to quickly ascertain the security of their camera setup at a mere glance. The lever-release mechanism is renowned for its rapid action, enabling the swift exchange of plates and rails, thereby enhancing the efficiency of your workflow.

Precision is at the heart of the PC-LR-40's design, with laser engravings that accurately indicate panning angles and camera positions. This attention to detail ensures that photographers can make fine adjustments with confidence. Additionally, the integrated 8mm bubble level streamlines the leveling process, ensuring that your camera is perfectly aligned for that flawless panoramic capture.

The PC-LR-40 is not just about precision and speed; it also boasts a built-in, patent-pending R-Mount. This innovative feature allows for a rigid connection to any Really Right Stuff ball head stem, enabling the use of the ball head to level the panning axis. This clever integration can eliminate the need for a separate leveling base in many shooting scenarios, further simplifying your setup.

For those seeking modularity, the PC-LR-40 can be augmented with the TH-DVTL-40 modular dovetail accessory. This addition equips the panning clamp with an RRS 1.5" dovetail on the bottom, enhancing its quick-release capabilities. This feature is particularly beneficial for photographers who occasionally shoot panoramas and prefer to minimize the weight of their tripod setup when not in use.

The PC-LR-40 is designed with a central 3/8"-16 threaded socket and includes both flat-head 1/4"-20 and M6 screws. This versatility ensures compatibility with a wide range of mounting options, including Really Right Stuff and Arca-Swiss ball heads, making it a universal choice for photographers dedicated to capturing the world in its panoramic splendor.
