Leofoto DC-12 Arca Screw- Knob Micro Clamp
The Leofoto DC-12 Arca Screw-Knob Micro Clamp is a tiny, ultra-light Arca-compatible clamp designed for adding secure mounting points to your tripod, L-bracket, or accessory setup. It uses a screw-knob tightening system so you can fine-tune grip pressure rather than relying on a quick lever release. Despite its very small 12mm profile, it’s CNC-machined from aluminium and feels surprisingly solid for its size.
