To cork or not to cork?

6/8/2014

0 Comments

 
Q: Why do you use cork in your ball heads, QR sets and tripods?

A: We don't use cork, we use a cork/rubber blend; this gives us the benefits of both materials, and none of the drawbacks of these materials.

Not all cork is the same: Using only a rubber surface will increase the vibration characteristics. Using only a cork surface will make it highly sensitive to weather conditions. 
This is why FLM exclusively uses a cork/rubber blend between the camera and our products. 
It combines both benefits: the cork serves as vibration dampening – similar to cork floors – while the rubber provides weather resistance and adhesion, to ensure good support for your camera.

Arca Compatible?

3/4/2014

Q: Are your QR clamps and plates Arca Swiss-compatible?


A: Our SRB-40 and SRB-60 clamps are universal, and accept all types of Arca-compatible plates.
Our QRB-40, -50, and -70 clamps are NOT Arca-compatible, but they are compatible with Novoflex.

Our plates will fit in most Arca-type clamps.


If you already own and use Arca-type plates, we recommend using our SRB-series clamps, as they are universal.

Thank you
