In a good way, It’s a lot heavier than what you’d expect, that provides me comfort in knowing that it can hold whatever I need, specially with a 3/8 which is a tank of a screw.
I’ve people come up with creative solutions but this is the standard and maybe most practical quick realease.
Also the 3/8 screw is perfectly machined so I never worry about screwing or fitting this to other valuable equipment.
