Description

Tired of choosing between a lever clamp or a twist clamp? So were we. That’s why we made the Ultra Clamp, the only Arca-Swiss compatible clamp that gives you both—no tools, no hassle, just smooth, secure mounting in seconds. Adjust the tension with the knurled knob or flick the lever for instant engagement. It’s your clamp, your way.

Ultra Clamp isn’t just about flexibility—it’s built for precision. Its square base means it mounts into any Arca-Swiss head in four directions, giving L-bracket users true vertical mounting without awkward sideways setups. Need to attach monitors, magic arms, or lights? A 3/8"-16 thread lets you mount accessories with ease, turning your clamp into a quick-release hub for your gear.

And because we know that safety matters, Ultra Clamp includes a built-in security catch to prevent accidental releases. With precision measurement markings, recessed security pin slots, and compatibility with standard ball head cross mounts, this pocket-sized clamp is a small but mighty upgrade to any kit.

It's very close to be perfect, although it needs a some slight adjustments for that. I've used it for a couple of weeks and it's already showing some signs of metal to metal contact and wear. If you're a hobbyist then this will probably be fine for you but as a working professional this need to be just a little more durable and robust. I've mentioned to 3LT my concerns and the tolerances of the lever and the clamp on that side need to be tweaked just a bit in my opinion. I use multiple plates with different tolerances and so being able to quickly and easily adjust and have a locking lever clamp are really nice. A better quality material and heavier duty application in the lever would also make a nice difference. I would pay twice the price for something that ticked those boxes, even if the weight went up a little. Size wise it's bang on the money.

I really like the ultra clamp, I wish it natively fit on my Travis v1 head, and not mounted in the existing clamp. However it still works great, especially with my Zadie L-Bracket!
Another win from 3LT!

My Ultra Clamp is superb. Beautifully engineered, superb in use, and made in England. 3LT are now my 'go to' manufacturer for anything tripod related needs.
