Product Description

The Hejnar Photo replacement foot for the Nikon 500mm f/4E FL VR is a critical upgrade for professional wildlife and sports photographers. By replacing the taller factory foot with this integrated Arca-style version, you achieve a more rigid connection to your support system while streamlining the overall profile of your lens.

This model includes a built-in Quick Detach (QD) socket, a mounting standard trusted for decades by NASA, law enforcement, and military agencies for its extreme reliability. The QD design is engineered to inhibit accidental removal, ensuring your professional lens remains securely attached even when suspended from a shoulder strap in the field.

The QD socket allows you to instantly attach or remove your favorite strap (such as a Black Rapid) using a standard push-button mount. This facilitates a seamless transition from carrying your equipment to mounting it onto any Arca-Swiss compatible clamp or gimbal head. Precision-machined in the USA from solid aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum.
