Clamping devices, systems and methods

A quick release clamp device, comprising:

• a catch member pivotably connected to a base member by a first pin;
• a latch member adjustably and pivotably connected to the base member by a fine adjustment mechanism and a second pin;
• a quick release mechanism pivotably connected to the latch member by a third pin;
• wherein the quick release clamp device is capable of clamping to a targeted object in a secure fashion and being quickly removable from the targeted object;
• wherein the latch member comprises a first end comprising:
• a first support member, a second support member, and a relief cut that runs between the first support member and the second support member;
• wherein the relief cut is situated on a top surface of the latch member and provides space for the fine adjustment mechanism to be seated;
• wherein the first support member comprises a first opening and the second support member comprises a second opening for receiving and pivoting about the second pin;
• and
• wherein the relief cut is designed to allow the fine adjustment mechanism to be inserted through an opening in the second pin when the second pin is seated in the first opening and the second opening of the first support member and the second support member, respectively, of the latch member.
