Product Description

The Hejnar Photo replacement foot for the Nikon 500mm f/5.6E PF lens is a rugged upgrade designed to streamline your field kit. By integrating the Arca-Swiss dovetail directly into the foot, this design lowers the lens's center of gravity and provides a rock-solid connection to any compatible tripod head or gimbal.

This model includes a built-in Quick Detach (QD) socket, a system trusted for decades by NASA, law enforcement, and military agencies for its extreme reliability. The QD mechanism is specifically engineered to inhibit accidental removal, providing superior security when your lens is suspended from a shoulder strap.

With the QD socket, you can instantly attach or remove your favorite strap (such as Black Rapid) using a standard push-button mount. This allows for a fast transition from handheld shooting to tripod mounting without fumbling with traditional strap loops. Precision-machined in the USA from aircraft-grade aluminum, this foot is built to withstand heavy professional use in any environment.
