30.0mm is correct even on the latest models.
The later clamp is machined a bit different.
The old generation was same thickness all around and 10mm stack height.
The new is thinner in the middle and a bit thicker at the up/down.
It also have a "lip" at the top, making the clamp flush to the frame seatpost mast.
It also prevents the clamp from sliding down when you're about to torque it.
Stack height is 12mm (8 grams).
These clamps offer stronger clamping force than a carbon dito.
I also have Smud carbon, which is 2 grams lighter.
To be honest, i would recommend either the new from Ax, or an aftermarket in aluminium.
Use carbon paste and maximum 4Nm.

Smuds version is actually nicer made than Darimo.
It's also super precise.
