Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Induro QRT50 compatible with Arca-Swiss style plates?
Yes, the QRT50 uses an Arca-Swiss compatible dovetail system with a twist-lock mechanism, so it works with standard Arca-Swiss plates from most manufacturers.
What mounting thread does the QRT50 clamp accept?
It accepts both 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threads, allowing you to mount it on tripods, monopods, and various accessory heads.
How does the double-action safety lock work?
The double-action safety lock requires two deliberate steps to release, preventing accidental disengagement of your camera or equipment during use.
Can this clamp be used on non-Benro tripods?
Yes, while it is designed for Benro tripods, the standard 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 mounting threads make it compatible with most tripod heads from other brands.
