CNC Precision Thumbscrew stripped: nonfunctional clamp

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2021

When it worked it worked but this product is a newbie photographer tax.

After two months, while tightening the thumbscrew in the red box, it stripped. As a result the clamp will not clamp safely on any Arca rail. It moves freely up and down the screw it's wrapped around and is loose and dangerous.

According to reviews this is a known issue since 2018 and as far as I can see all these years whatever factory they're coming from just keeps pumping them out under different names and sometimes with a free plate.

I'm not interested in a replacement so I'll be buying some other more expensive clamp and hoping it fares better unless these are all disposable in the time of a month. If you lose +$500 worth of gear can you really say at $12 you did your best?

At least I got 3x 3/8th to 1/4th adapters unless those are dangerous too.

Sturdy but hard to fix in place.

The clamp performs very well when it comes to holding onto the plate; the grip feels very strong and reliable. It also feels well-built so there are no complaints in that department. However, fastening the clamp itself down can be a pain as it tends to rotate from the middle screw hole. I tried fastening the two outer 3/4s holes simultaneously to avoid the rotation but these are spaced a little too closely to be used in most cheese plates/cheese rails. Felt slightly disappointed by this.

This is perfect match for my monopod; I was looking for clamp which can hold my monster lens : Sigma 70-200 2.8 Sport.. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Nice for the price but not perfect

Very nice for the price. Only complaint for the clamp is that the mounting holes are not centered. When the rail is inserted and tightened up, the centerline is roughly 3/16" off center.

Solidly Built ARCA attachment

ARCA clamp is solidly built and clamps onto ARCA rails well. I'll have to see how it holds up over time, but early indications are that it is a solid product.

Great Quality

This works perfectly for what I need, an easy swamp for my camera from shoulder rig to ronin sc. The plate is spring loaded open so no flopping around when loose.

Solid clamp, great price. Not for gear snobs.

Decent quality, no pretense - just a solid (and quite large) SA-style clamp that works as it should, for a pretty unbelievable price. Great on a secondary tripod head or on a backup tripod/head that you can just leave in the truck.

Made from solid metal blanks, not stamped. Have no idea how such a high quality metal product can be sold for such a low price. Am not complaining, just ordered 2 more !

Affordable protection !

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2012

Verified Purchase

One of the most glaring omissions from Canon recently has not been including a lens hood with their starter kits which feature their ever present short 18-55mm lens. If one buys an actual Canon lens hood separate, even on Amazon, it gets a bit pricey. This little gem solves that problem in a digital nanosecond. Shape works great too with virtually NO vignetting at any range. And cheap, did I say cheap? Well, to be perfect PC, I'll just say it's "affordable protection" you can't be without !
