DSLRKIT Tripod Collar Mount Ring C (WII) for Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6L

Firstly, I would like to let you know that this product is designed to work with the Canon 70D This 300mm F4 lens offers maximum sharpness To begin with, you should realize that the black padding on the interior of the tripod collar is neither black nor In the interior there's a clear, glossy plastic ring that's held in place by an adhesive layer. Under it is something slightly squishy (could well be the adhesive holding the glossy While it wouldn't be my first choice, I can see why it serves the purpose quite well because it allows the collar to rotate when the clamp is loosened without scratching the lens barrel, and it also holds the collar in place when it is tightened. Two points to note here the actual tripod foot used here has the standard Arca Swiss screw in it instead of being a protruding screw. There are grooves cut directly into the foot. In my opinion, it's a really nice feature, and I wish all tripod collars and feet had it, as it would save many people from having to add another plate. They should upgrade the photos, because that alone makes it easier to justify the upgrade over Canon (even if it were less expensive). Moreover, it comes with the additional stop screws (and the allen key needed to install them) that limit how far the plate slides when partially clamped in the In other words, everything else is as you'd expect it to be. There is definitely a close color match, though it isn't perfect from a distance, it's impossible to notice, but up close (under the right light) you can tell, so if that bothers you, you are highly unlikely to consider this third-party A similar statement can be made about the metal's textured finish Although it's close to the original, it doesn't match exactly. This is an aluminum cast of simple construction that is very solid and rust-resistant. There's just one place where they could make improvements, since the pin at the hinge has a bit of extra wobble when opening and closing, but once it is secured closed around the lens barrel, it is totally locked in place. In the same way, the thumb screw knurled does not have the push-in feature Using a safety mechanism like the one in official Canon collars will keep it from falling off in the event it became loose This is hardly a deal-breaker and is a sensible way to save money. You don't have to worry about it loosening on its own so long as you check it from time to time (although mine hasn't shown signs of loosening on its own). This is a good, solid product The tool is well made with a lot of features This is especially true in comparison to Canon. For a 70-year old, I'd really like to have one of these To get a tripod foot that is better, I had to add 200mm. Make sure you have the right foot/collar on your lens, and you're good to go.

I decided, however, that despite the high price Canon charges for their Collar Mount Ring, I would take my chances and order this product. Although there are minor issues with packaging that fails to adequately protect the item, other than that it arrived safely and it fits perfectly.

It appears strong enough and I would expect it to handle the lens weight with a full frame Canon camera. With this product you can do the same job for less than $25, compared to the Canon version that costs more than A good coating is present on the inner side of the ring to prevent scratching of the lens. The color of the text wasn't a match, but then it was within the acceptable range and was close enough. As a result, I would have given it a 5 Star rating if the color had perfectly matched and the packaging had been (It came with a kitchen ziplock bag, but it had been wrapped with two The collar Ring did not come packaged in bubble wrap or in any other kind of box. Overall, I am satisfied with the collar Ring and I.

It is designed to be used in conjunction with extension tubes so that I can get up close and personal to butterflies without getting too With a battery grip attaching to a zoom lens, it becomes rather heavy to carry them in the sun when trying to capture these elusive insects. * This collar was certainly not easy to put on, but when it was on it felt pretty secure. There was a great deal of error in my judgment. There is only partial felt lining on the inside of the clamp, and the texture of the felt is There is a chance that I can spin the collar around the lens regardless of how tight I tighten it. It isn't like shooting freely, but it is enough that you will quickly and easily lose your shot if you are out shooting. The problem is that it eventually is so undone that the solution comes a lot more It stayed on for a little while, but I eventually took it off and forgot about As I prepare for a trip to a butterfly conservatory (a bit cheating, but it's worth it. dug it out, thinking by myself that It had all been done in the field before, and it occurred to me in my hurry that I could have overlooked Not at all. I always have a little trouble getting the collar compact on my lens no matter how tightly I tighten it. First time I did this, the sides of my lens were scuffed. Having said that, I'm not planning on selling this lens at any time. However, a buyer needs to be aware of that. In order to obtain what you want, you must pay. Other reviewers describe the collar liner as holding the collar firmly and being perfect. Another reviewer also experienced the same problem as I did with the collar. Additionally, I think we may be getting different collars since other reviewers praise the liner.
As an aside, I wouldn't even recommend saving one for the official Canon edition. Using the focus ring can be a bit tricky with a collar on because the ring is so close to the lens base. I do not see how they could possibly make it work though it may be a different design.

The collar for a Canon 28mm lens I lost belongs to a professional photographer who shoots with Canon gear This lens is part of the 300L series. The heavy design of this lens normally requires the use of a monopod, tripod, or some other mount in order to be used. it was gone and I needed a replacement and I needed it fast. I found this mount on Amazon In terms of attachment, it is the same as the original (which The price is $1180 Despite my age, I still have my original 70mm-facsimile camera You cannot tell the difference between the 200mmL and the 200mm in the 200mmL series by looking at the locking knob alone. Color, color, color! What difference does it make? As with the original, it works as expected. You can buy this item for a fraction of what you would spend on it. A $78 saving and two-day delivery saved me time and money. I must say, this is a great.
