It is so convenient to have built in mount. Helps with carrying as well.
You can enhance your photography experience with the AP-551 Replacement Foot, specifically designed for Nikon 200-400mm f/4.0 VR (I & II), 300mm f/2.8 VR (I & II), and 500mm f/4.0 VR FL lenses. This high-quality, robust replacement foot replaces the factory foot on your lens's rotation collar, serving as an Arca-Swiss style quick-release plate for your lens. This means no additional quick-release plate is required, simplifying your setup process.
The AP-551 Replacement Foot is not just a sturdy support for your lens but also a tool that improves handling on conventional tripod heads, such as ball heads. Its low-profile design makes it easier to pack, ensuring your photography equipment is always ready for travel.
Engineered for added stiffness, this reliable replacement foot reduces flex and vibration, providing a stable platform for your lens. This results in sharper images and smoother video footage, enhancing the overall quality of your work.
The AP-551 Replacement Foot also creates an ideal geometry for using your lens on the Wimberley Sidemount Head and Sidekick, allowing your lens to balance optimally. This feature is crucial for capturing steady and well-composed shots.
Wimberley lens plates, including the AP-551 Replacement Foot, are compatible with Arca-Swiss style quick-release clamps. This includes those made by leading brands such as Wimberley, Kirk Enterprises, Really Right Stuff, Arca-Swiss, Markins, and others. This compatibility ensures that you can seamlessly integrate the AP-551 Replacement Foot into your existing photography setup.
