Wimberley Replacement AP 614 Replacement Lens Foot

Wimberley Replacement AP 614 Replacement Lens FootWith the Wimberley Replacement AP 614 Replacement Lens Foot you swap the standard foot of the Sony 100 400 mm f/4.5 GM OSS for one that doubles as your Arca Swiss plate. The lens then slides straight into the clamp of your tripod head, with no separate quick release plate in between. You carry one part less and you are set up faster.HighlightsReplaces the standard foot of the Sony 100 400 mm f/4.5 GM OSSDoubles as an Arca Swiss plate, so you no longer need a separate quick release plateAlso has 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch threads for heads without a quick release systemTwo stop screws keep the lens from sliding out of the clampWeighs 94 grams including all screws and measures 12.2 x 3.8 x 2.5 cmYou mount it with the hex key that comes in the boxMountingYou take the standard foot off the tripod collar and fasten the AP 614 to the same four holes with the supplied M3 x 8 mm socket head cap screws. The 2.5 mm T handle hex key you need for that is in the box. It takes a few minutes and you need no other tools.Safety stopsTwo short M3 x 6 mm screws go into the underside of the plate. They stand just proud enough to stop the lens if you have not fully tightened the clamp. On a telephoto of this weight that is reassuring.StiffnessWimberley designs its feet with software that maps the loads inside the material, and then checks the outcome against measurements. Material is only removed where it does not affect stiffness. The result is a 94 gram foot that does not give way in the clamp.CompatibilityThe AP 614 fits the Sony 100 400 mm f/4.5 GM OSS. Its dovetail follows the Arca Swiss profile, so ball heads, gimbals and clamps of that type accept it without any trouble. Most Manfrotto and Gitzo clamps will not take it, so that is worth checking.,Type: Replacement lens footSuitable for: Sony 100 400 mm f/4.5 GM OSSDimensions (L x W x H): 12.2 x 3.8 x 2.5 cm (4.8 x 1.5 x 1.0 inch)Weight: 94 grams (including mounting and stop screws)Quick release system: Arca Swiss dovetailThreads: 1/4 inch and 3/8 inchSafety stops: 2 pieces (M3 x 6 mm)Mounting: 4 x M3 x 8 mm socket head cap screwNot suitable for: most Manfrotto and Gitzo clampsWarranty: 2 years,1 x Wimberley Replacement AP 614 Replacement Lens Foot4 x Socket head cap screw M3 x 8 mm (mounting)2 x Socket head cap screw M3 x 6 mm (safety stop)1 x T handle hex key 2.5 mm
