It is now at special offer, for a ridiculous amount of just $ 9.95 !!! for a full featured clamp with a handle. Even if someone is not interested in video smooth panning and the handle, could just get the clamp and get rid of the handle.

Although the DACH-01 has the same dimensions with the Desmond DAC-01 50mm QR Clamp (review) its design resembles more to the little larger Desmond DAC-02 60mm QR Clamp (review) since it also features a removable bubble level up front.
 |
| Same as the other Desmond clamps the DACH-01 clamp is made totally out of Aluminium with no rubber parts. A simple design with flat surfaces, two deep safety-screw relief grooves on the sides and a countersunk hole in the center which is also threaded 3/8"-16. The removable bubble level resided on a small plate, put outside the steady jaw, just opposite the screw knob. What differs on DACH-01 compared with the other Desmond QR clamps is that it sports two holes one at each side in order to hold the quite long handle. |
 |
| The bottom side is the same as with the DAC-01 and 02, simply flat with a crossed groove to match the usual ball head anti-twist bosses at any orientation. However there are a couple of extra, small, headless hex-socket screws intended to tighten the provided handle on either side. |
 |
| The all metal handle may be installed in either side at the users' convenience. Or may not be installed at all if you just want the clamp. |
 |
| Also coming with the clamp are a 1/4"-20 to 3/8"-16 conversion bushing and an Allen hex key for the tiny hex screws which hold the bubble level and the handle. |
I hope you found the information useful, thank you for viewing.

Will this clamp work with the Sunwayfoto DP-50 since it is 9mm thick?
ReplyDeleteAlthough the Sunwayfoto DP-50 is 9mm thick its dovetail height is still 5 mm. It will work but I would not recommend. Better use with Desmond DAC-X1 or DLVC-50 instead.
