Acquistato perchè specificatamente compatibile con 70-200 2.8 IS II, questo anello non lo è. (Vedi FOto )Tentando di montarlo sull'obiettivo, le scanalature per le viti presenti NON COINCIDONO, facendo fuoriuscire l'obiettivo alla minima pressione.Rovinato di nuovo l'obiettivo e soddisfazione pessima.

As other reviewers said, it's a great product for the price. It's already fitted to my lens, and it's sturdy. I'm happy with my purchase.

I needed to be able to securely attach a camera with a heavy telephoto lens to a telescope that tracked the stars. Because the camera is often hanging nearly upside down or sideways because of how the telescope tracks the stars, I needed something very secure. This lens collar does the job perfectly! Using a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter I was able to use TWO screws to connect the collar to a dovetail plate, making a very solid connection. I used this setup to take the attached photo of the Orion Nebula--and never had to worry that my camera would fall.

I got this for its built-in ARCA-compatible quick release plate. It does the job beautifully.Well made, fits perfectly and functions just as it should. (it's also sized properly to fit in Really Right Stuff lever-type clamps.)

Well, if you are looking at these you already know that the Canon part is £150+ and is seldom available. There is a version available from a very reputable American manufacturer but that costs an extra £10. I need two of the things, so I was looking for a budget alternative.I initially bought one of these, thinking "If it's c*** it's going back, if it's half decent I'll keep it alongside one of the expensive versions..."When it arrived I was quite favourably impressed. Finish was OK, part from the lack of a datum line for portrait format. The base fitted neatly into an Arca Swiss clamp (Benro version). When the dots were aligned it slid easily onto the lens and over the pins and it clamped up quite solidly without my having to exert any great effort on the clamp screw.I regard all these as indicating that the maker had taken some care to "Get it Right" . I'l;l be keeping an eye on it but I'm happy to use it and, in fact, I've bought another. Two for £80 vs two for £300... I blame Canon!

If I could give fractional stars, I would give this tripod collar a 4.8 (see below). Since it's so close to a 5, that's what I think it deserves.The construction and engineering are flawless. The ring feels solid and well built. It fits nicely onto my Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS (Mark I) and holds it snugly. Furthermore, the base mates perfectly with my Really Right Stuff ball head. The base also has precisely machined 1/4" and 3/8" threaded holes for those who don't use an Arca Swiss mount. The holes are precisely on the lens centerline. (I think it's worth noting that the RRS plate designed for the original Canon collar has only a 1/4" hole, which is offset from the center.)Some purchasers may not like the fact that the collar is black rather than white. I don't see that as a big deal, since the lens already has two black rubber rings for the focus and zoom functions. (Plus, I've covered all the white up with gaffer tape to help disguise the lense, but that's a personal choice.)So why do I give it a 4.8? There are three minor drawbacks. First, the foot that connects to the tripod is relatively small (smaller than the RRS plate). That's not a problem if you're just using the lens, but if you attach a teleconverter it would be nice to have a little more fore-and-aft play so you could find a better balance point.Second, the collar copies the Canon design in having a prominent alignment mark so that you can rotate the lens (and camera) to precisely horizontal. But like the Canon (and unlike some competitors) there isn't a similar mark at the 90° point(s). So when you're shooting vertically, you have to guess. Since an additional mark is just a trivial silkscreening change, I consider that a pretty significant omission.Finally, and on a truly nit-picky issue, the mounting plate has two different pairs of Allen screws: one pair holds the plate to the collar (although I don't understand why it needs to be removable) and the other pair serves as stops to keep the Arca-Swiss plate from sliding off the tripod head. The collar comes with an Allen wrench that fits the mounting screws but not the stops. I think most people are more likely to want to remove the stops than the entire mounting plate (since the collar is useless without it), and in any case there's no good reason to use two different sizes for the two functions. But since the sizes are standard ones, it's easy to pick up a wrench at the local hardware store if you need to.All in all, I'm really happy with this collar. I'm glad I paid a few dollars extra to get something I can trust to hold my expensive lens. I just hope that the manufacturer decides to add the 90° mark in a future edition.
