Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. Can this be used with super clamps, such as those made by Manfrotto, Impact or any other brand that makes an analagous device?

A: Yes, you can connect the Kirk TQR-3S Tripod Head Quick Disconnect Small System with TQR-MPS Plate to a super clamp, as long as the clamp has a 5/8"-27 receiver thread. You will need the following products to connect the quick release plate to the clamp: https://bhpho.to/4eszsli https://bhpho.to/4b6iCpt https://bhpho.to/3GiqaIU

Q: 3. 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.

Q: 4. Would this work on a platypod. I'm concerned that the tightening knob would not allow it to sit flat or be hard to turn?

A: Unfortunately, this would not work with the Platypod. In our testing the tightening knob does not allow the head to sit flat and cannot be tightened fully.

Q: 5. 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: 6. 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: 7. 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: 8. Does the plate have 2 separated set screws or they are CNCed like some reviews complaint about?

A: The Kirk Tripod Head Quick Release Plate (Large) comes with one set of screws, or two screws (one small and one big) in total.

Q: 9. 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: 10. will this work with arca swiss type quick release plates?

A: It will not, this works with a propitiatory Quick Release Plate. https://bhpho.to/2HVLZ2v
