Product Description

The Hejnar Photo replacement foot for the Nikon 500mm f/4.0 series is a professional-grade upgrade designed for wildlife and sports photographers. By replacing the original Nikon foot with this integrated Arca-style version, you gain a lower center of gravity and a significantly more stable connection to your tripod or gimbal head.

This foot features a built-in Quick Detach (QD) socket, a mounting standard trusted for decades by NASA, military, and law enforcement agencies. The QD system is specifically engineered to inhibit accidental removal, ensuring your heavy 500mm lens remains securely fastened even when hanging from a shoulder strap in the field.

The QD socket allows you to instantly connect standard push-button QD mounts found on high-quality sport and military-style straps. This provides a fast, secure transition between carrying your gear and mounting it to any Arca-Swiss compatible clamp. Precision-machined in the USA from solid aircraft-grade aluminum, this foot is built to handle the rigors of professional outdoor photography.
