Newport's post holder families feature innovative designs such as: a brake-shoe clamp to prevent the post from slipping while making adjustments, a quick-release cam-lock for easy locking of posts, a slotted-base to provide maximum placement flexibility and repeatability, kinematic indentations at the top of the base to allow repeatable rotational alignment, and magnetic bases.
