This GS-2 Equipment Support Mount from Leofoto is an all-purpose clamping mount specifically designed to enhance the accuracy potential of a tripod mounting interface. The base of the clamp features a standard dovetail-style design for attaching the clamp to Arca-type tripod heads, and its leveling base is finished with a protective anodized plating, which protects it from corrosion. The bottom of the leveling base also includes a QD socket and two 3/8" mounting accessory ports for use with Leofoto quick release plates. The GS-2 is fully ambidextrous, possessing inward angled jaws that wedge equipment into the clamp to further improve grip. A double start thread allows both jaws to move together and allows an accurate center of balance for equipment and rifles 1-3" wide. Additionally, textured rubber pads are designed to create maximum surface grip area with whatever is clamped inside.
