Product Description
The H134QD quick release lens plate is an essential technical upgrade for photographers deploying the Nikon RT-1 tripod collar ring on NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G or 300mm f/4E mirrorless or DSLR setups. Attaching your support rig directly to the lens foot instead of the camera chassis drastically reduces structural stress on the lens mount. This center-of-gravity correction is heavily recommended when building a complex optical train, such as adding a teleconverter, ensuring stable tracking and sharp images.
The hallmark of this plate is its integrated, high-performance stainless steel QD socket. This mechanical quick-disconnect system—trusted for decades by aerospace, law enforcement, and military agencies—inhibits accidental removal. It is perfectly optimized for push-button sling mounts, allowing you to attach your preferred carry gear, such as a BlackRapid shoulder strap, directly to the tripod plate. This configuration permits an immediate transition between an active handheld sling carry and a locked tripod position without having to manually swap hardware.
Bespoke-milled in the USA from solid aluminum, the low-profile architecture keeps your overall footprint compact and lightweight. Pre-installed safety-stop screws provide an essential fail-safe, preventing your lens assembly from accidentally sliding out of a partially opened quick-release clamp. Finished in a rugged black hard coat to withstand intense field work, this plate delivers the technical precision and structural security required for professional photography.
