The black and satin silver anodized aluminum and steel TQR-2L Tripod Head Quick Disconnect System with Large Plate from Kirk Enterprises attaches to a tripod's spider via its 3/8"-16 mounting thread. This clamp provides a quick release system that enables you to quickly switch out many types of tripod heads for different photographic applications.

The large plate is designed to fit tripod heads with an approximate base diameter of 2.25" or over. A laser-engraved scale on top of the clamp allows accurate positioning of the plate, which is then secured into place by turning the screw locking knob on the clamp. Set screws are included to secure the clamp to the tripod and the plate to the head and to prevent them from moving while mounted together. In addition, a bubble level is located on the side of the clamp to level out your horizon.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the only difference between this and the the TQR 1S the size of the place that attaches to the tripod head or is the base larger? My Tripod base plate is 2 1/4 inch. Which should I use?

A: Yes the only difference between the TQR-2L and the TQR 1S is the base plate sizes they support. Since your base plate is 2 1/4", either one can work.

Q: 2. Would the large plate fit on my Kessler Kwik Receiver as well?

A: If you are referring to the Kirk Tripod Head Quick Release Plate (Large), B&H # KITQRMPL, then yes, while it is not designed for use with the Kessler Crane Kwik Release Receiver, the plate should be able to connect to the 3/8"-16 female tripod thread on the base of the Kwik Release Receiver.

Q: 3. Does this model actually feature a bubble level? I thought that was a feature of the TQR-1S, which costs more?

A: This model does not feature a bubble level.

Q: 4. Is it able to be adapted into the clamp of Gitzo GH3382 QD? There is an off center line safety screw mounted on the clamp of 3382 ball head, so I ask this question to confirm compatibility.

A: This plate is meant to mount on the bottom of a ball head in order to quickly remove the head from an Arca type clamp mounted directly on a tripod.

Q: 5. Is it compatible with RRS quick release lever clamp??

A: Yes, fully compatible.

Q: 6. Yes. I will attach it on the bottom of RRS clamp, and then mount this final assembly on the clamp of Gitzo GH 3382 QD. The purpose is to transfer 3382’s clamp to RRS type, because 3382’s clamp may have compatibility issue if you don’t remove that safety screw from 3382’s clamp. I saw this plate does have caves which facing to clamp. Not sure if either cave can just contain that off center safety screw or not?

A: This is quite possible, as there are large carved-out spaces on the base of the QR plate that would accommodate the Gitzo ball head safety screw. However, because the 3382QD is arca-swiss by default, it would be easier (and potentially prevent accidents during hasty attachment) to just remove the safety screw.

Q: 7. What is the diameter of the TQR-3s CLAMP? I've just ordered a TQR-1s, and clamp is the same same as the 2L - too big for me

A: The Kirk TQR-3S Tripod Head Quick Disconnect Small System with TQR-MPS Plate diameter is 2.0 inches and the over all width of the knob and level is 3.655 inches.

Q: 8. Compatible with Peak Design Carbon FIber Tripod clamp?

A: No, the Kirk Tripod Head Quick Release Plate (Small) is not compatible with the Peak Design Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod.

Q: 9. What is the maximum weight the Kirk TQR-1S, TQR-2L, and TQR-3S can support?

A: These are meant to go between the head and tripod, as a quick release for a head itself, so it is as only good as what the capacities of those two components are.

Q: 10. Will this clamp work with Peak Design standard plates?

A: Yes, the Kirk TQR-3S Tripod Head Quick Disconnect Small System with TQR-MPS Plate will work with the Peak Design PL-S-3 Standard Plate.
