the RRS lever clamp that fits has no channels. the ones with channels don't
fit. i tried. without the channels, it wasn't worth putting my clamp onto
the head. if Joe has access to a machine shop, it would be trivial to mill
the channels, especially if he uses the C-30 as a model. i ended up staying
with the C-30 after testing several RRS clamps.

I'd heard that Really Right Stuff was working on such a clamp, with
the added benefit of lever-action quick release. If your QR plate has
safety stops on both ends, as Wimberley's do, you have to open the clamp
all the way and drop the lens foot in, and then tighten it down. (You
can't slide it in from the end.) The lever release would make this
quicker and safer.
