[QUOTE="hark, post: 735852, member: 13196"] I don't think that lens would need a tripod collar. I have the 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR AF-S which weighs at least 6 ounces heavier, and I never felt the need to use a tripod collar with it. Nikon doesn't even make one for that lens - and that's one way to tell whether or not you might want to consider a collar. My Nikon 70-200mm f/4 VR lens has a tripod collar - but since I purchased it preowned, it came with one. However, I don't think it comes with a collar when purchased new. This lens weighs almost 10 ounces more than your lens. Even if it hadn't come with a collar, I definitely would have gotten one. Collars need to be made to fit specific lenses so they are properly secured. And it doesn't even look as though your lens was made to accept a tripod collar. Take a look at my 70-200mm f/4 VR. Do you see the slightly indented gap above the gold lettering? That's where the optional collar sits when it is snugged down. [ATTACH=CONFIG]339640._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
