Question for those that have used both the older non r-lock Anvil 30 and the new r-lock version...
I have an older non r-lock version right now. The clamp tension on the rail isn't adjustable, but it can compensate for different rails somewhat as there is a wave spring under the nut. The wave spring compresses and can handle a bit of dimensional variability in the rails and still provide adequate clamp force. It works on all the rails I currently have with no issues.
I keep thinking about picking up one of the newer r-lock versions to either replace mine or for a second tripod setup. The new R-lock Anvil 30 has adjustable tension where you can squeeze the clamp in and then adjust the nut for different rail dimensions. My question is does the new version with adjustable clamp tension still have a wave spring under it so it will accept some rail dimension variability without constantly messing with the adjuster nut, or do you have to manually adjust the clamp nut for proper tension on every rail you put it on? I'm hoping it still has a wave spring in it so I don't have to constantly mess with it.
