[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 786274, member: 48483"] It is an aftermarket collar by iShoot. I have to caution that the foot is still too short to balance correctly and it still retains the original problem of only having a single attachment hole to secure a long Arca-Swiss plate to. I can set the tension knob lightly on the Wimberly gimbal to allow light resistance and hold the rig when you let go. My Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 balances perfectly as I use a long plate and it has 2 mount holes on the foot. I keep thinking about taking my power tools to the original lens collar and drilling out a second mount hole that would allow me to install a long Arca-Swiss plate secured at 2 points. Have correct balance and end the lens twisting itself loose from the plate by gravity pull. [/QUOTE]
