FAQs

What lenses is the Leofoto SF-01 compatible with?

The SF-01 is specifically designed for the Sony FE 70-200mm F/2.8 GM OSS Mark I & II, FE 100-400mm F/4.5-5.6 GM OSS, and FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS lenses.

Does this lens foot replace the original tripod collar?

No, this lens foot replaces the original *foot* attached to the tripod collar, not the collar itself. It provides an Arca-Swiss compatible mounting point.

Is this compatible with all Arca-Swiss tripod heads?

Yes, as long as your tripod head features a standard Arca-Swiss compatible quick-release clamp, the SF-01 will mount to it.

How do I install the Leofoto SF-01 Lens Foot?

You will need to unscrew the original foot from your lens's tripod collar and then attach the Leofoto SF-01 using the provided screws.

Will this make my lens lighter?

The Leofoto SF-01 weighs 90g, which is generally lighter than the original feet on some telephoto lenses, contributing to a lower overall weight.

Can I still attach my camera strap?

The design typically allows for the attachment of camera straps, though it's advisable to check for specific strap lug points on the SF-01 itself.

Troubleshooting

Lens foot is wobbly after installation.

Ensure all mounting screws are tightened securely. Check that the lens foot is fully seated against the lens mount. Verify you are using the correct screws for your specific lens model if multiple types were provided.

Difficulty attaching to tripod head.

Confirm that your tripod head has an Arca-Swiss compatible quick-release clamp. Ensure the quick-release plate on the lens foot is properly aligned and released before attempting to insert it into the clamp.

Scratches or damage on the lens foot.

Handle the lens foot with care during installation and removal. While durable, it can still be scratched by rough surfaces. For minor cosmetic issues, continue using as normal. For significant damage, consider replacement.
