I suspect the clamp is the same for both, and it's a good one, IMO. It's got channels in the bed so that the safety stops on either end of the QR plate can slide almost all the way to the middle of the clamp. This helps a lot with fore-and-aft balance. 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. HTH, Stephen Moore
