R-Lock R-LOCK (short for Rapid-Lock) System adds unique safety-stop features which are built in to both a mounting rail and quick-release clamp that adhere to the RRS 1.5” Standard. The advantage of the System is the user has multiple “hard-stop” positions along the rail while retaining smooth edges and corners for maximum ergonomics and a snag-free interface that is inherently resistant to wearing down. The ”hard-stop” feature is comprised of a 5mm diameter steel pin that engages 5.5mm diameter holes in the rail. In addition to supplementing the traditional friction-based clamping mechanism, the interface prevents unintentional repositioning of the rail within the clamp when the R-LOCK is engaged.• Adjustable clamp jaw allows compatibility with many other arca-type rails that are not in spec with the RRS 1.5" Dovetail Standard• O-rings help keep threads clean and smooth while providing better tactile feedback• Vented clevis design allow legs to collapse faster without pressure buildup• Threaded sockets on the sides of the apex provide better placement for accessories like QD attachments or a BC-18• Patent-pending Taper Lock System secures the ball head inside the apex making it unable to slip• Offset Leg Joints: Tripods must occasionally withstand tremendous bending and torsion loads. It is crucial that the leg angle stops and all other structural joints are well supported. Our patented offset leg joints fully support the leg angle stops allowing loads to be transferred straight through the strongest members of the tripod. This also means the tripod is more compact when collapsed.• Rubber Ball Feet: Large diameter teardrop shape keeps leg sidewalls from touching the ground even at the lowest settings and makes positive contact with the ground at virtually any angle.• Anodized, Type 3 Black• High strength to weight ratio• Made from CNC-machined 6061 T6 Aluminum• Solid ring apex for strength and reliability• Ergonomic spring-loaded pull tabs with visual lock/unlock• Fast, modular and customizable design
