Wimberley AP-554 Replacement Foot - Nikon 500mm f/4 AF-S (I, II & VR) and 200-400mm f/4 AF-S (VR)

The AP-554 replaces the stock foot on the lenses below. It is an alternative to the AP-553 plate. It has the advantage of greater clearance between the body of the lens and the foot, making it easier to use the foot as a handle for your lens. In addition, it is longer, allowing you to balance your lens properly when using light-weight camera bodies. It will allow you to balance your lens with all pro and pro-sumer Nikon camera bodies, even when using teleconverters (see chart below for details). It is the only replacement foot on the market for these lenses that allows this comprehensiveness in balancing. We used finite element analysis to design the foot with the proper balance of weight savings and stiffness. Other manufacturers have removed material to make the product lighter; however, we found that doing so reduces its rigidity below our quality standards.

Compatible with:

• Nikon: 500 f/4 AF-S versions I & II
• VR 200-400 f/4 AF-S VR

About Replacement Feet

These custom low-profile replacement feet replace the factory foot on the rotation collar of your lens and also serve as the Arca-Swiss style quick-release plate for your lens. No additional quick-release plate is needed. It makes your lens handle better on a conventional tripod head, such as a ball head, and also makes it easier to pack.
