A: Unfortunately, because we are not privy to the engineering or technical specifications of the Kirk QD swivel, it might be best to contact Kirk directly to avoid using the wrong kind of lubrication in order to avoid damaging it and potentially your lens! The Kirk QD Swivel-D comes with a 5-year warranty for defects and issues, and should cover such malfunctions.

Q: 8. Rephrased question: The TQR is the clamp that atttaches to the tripod. The plate attaches to the tripod head. They both come in 2 different sizes. Can the small plate be used with the large clamp, and vice versa?

A: Ideally you want a plate that matches the size of the base of the head as close as possible for maximum stability while not interfering with any knobs or mounting levers etc. But if it did not interfere with mounting or opening and closing knobs on your head you could use either the small or large plate with either clamp yes.

Q: 9. Will the large QR clamp accept large and small plates? And vice versa?

A: Yes, as long as the plate is Arca-Swiss style most will work with the Kirk TQR-2L Tripod Head Quick Disconnect System with Large Plate.

Q: 10. What are the functional differences between this and the Kirk TQR-1S?

A: The Kirk TQR-3S Tripod Head Quick Disconnect Small System with TQR-MPS Plate is for smaller tripods. It includes an assembly that measures ø: 2.0 x W: 2.8. The Kirk TQR-1S is made for wider tripods. It includes an assembly that measures ø: 2.9 x W: 4.5. I recommend purchasing a system that is closer to the size of your tripod base.
