Ich habe das Canon RF 100-500m gekauft. Leider enspricht ist Stativschelle nicht der Qualität einen L-Objektiv. Wenn man diese festzieht (Festknallt :-)) ist das Objetiv immer noch nicht Fest.Stört vorallem wen ein Einbeinstativ verwendet wird und die Hand am Auslöser der Kamera ist.Dreht sich das Original immer.Mit der iShoot Stativhalterung bin ich zu 100% zufrieden.Kann ich nur weiterempfelen.

I trust this collar to support my expensive 100-500 lens. I love that it has the dovetail foot and I don't have to faff with adapters. My only complaint is that the thumbscrew is a bit janky compared to the Canon collar. It doesn't turn quite as smoothly and it takes a bit more rotation to shift from locked to just turning than Canon's version. Minor concern.

Tres bien, prix 3 fois moins cher comparé au modele d origineJe n ai jamais eu le canon donc je ne peux comparer, mais j ai lu qques critiques peu flatteusesCelui ci est solide, tres bien fini, et à le pied de soutien compatible arca swiss sans rajouter d adaptateur, parfaitSeul bemol, le pieds est un peu plus large que les canon, pas compatible avec la piece dediée d un kit cover lens que j avais acheté, mais il est noir donc ca reste discret tt de même

Feels more secure than the original Canon ring which it replaced.

J’ai longtemps hésité, mais depuis que je mets un peu de poids sur l’appareil de la main droite, la caméra tourne, le pied canon ne serre pas assez, celui-ci est plus large et tiens bien, en plus ce pied est compatible pour mettre sur ma tête pivotante ce que je ne pouvais faire avec celui de canon

This collar is clearly superior to the unit that comes with the lens from Canon. Very secure clamping (no slippage) with a good mounting capability. Pricing was appropriate for the quality you receive.

As other reviewers mentioned, the original collar on the RF 100-500 L is shameful. I RMA’d three different lenses to B&H photo because the tripod collar would not completely secure down to the lens, and each lens I received back was worse than the one before (all new and unopened). Ridiculous. This is a poor design on Canon’s part. The felt liner inside the collar compresses over time to the point it no longer functions!I gave up with RMA and bought this instead. It’s perfect and the built-in ARCA mount is the best thing about it.Only two complaints that didn’t warrant knocking off a star (yet): 1) the knob is not as low profile as Canon’s, so it fit a little differently/tighter in my camera bag. 2) the foot lacks a rounded top edge, so hand-gripping the camera by the lens collar foot is a little uncomfortable. I imagine for a long period of time free-handing this camera it would get annoying. Obviously not a problem if the lens is mounted to tripod or monopod.

The collar that comes with the RF100-500L is awful. Canon should be embarrassed to put that garbage on such an expensive lens. Right off the bat, it's not ARCA Swiss compatible, making it useless without an additional plate that adds unnecessary bulk and another possible point of failure. The one on my lens doesn't even tighten enough to stay in place when I retract the zoom extension all the way. And it's white. I know why Canon makes their L lenses white, but come on, let's not make your most popular wildlife lens stick out like a sore thumb in almost any environment, K?This iShoot collar solves all of the above problems. My only quibbles are that it's not as comfortable to carry the lens by the foot, and it doesn't have a QD hole in it. It was the same deal with the iShoot collar I had on my previous wildlife lens, the Tamron 100-400mm. Otherwise, it'd be perfect.

This collar mounts easily and works as designed but when I rotate the mount from below the lens (as I use it) to above the lens (how I store it and how I set it on the car seat beside me or any other time I set it down) there is a catch in the rotation that is just irritating. The original Canon mount does not do this and I finally got tired of this irritation and switched back to the Canon mount. It is so smooth and without problems.

Fits the RF100-500 lens as a glove. I love this item because of the Arca fit quick release plate feature. You can fit it directly on a tripod. On the original mount ring you have to mount a additional quick relaes plate. I don't understand why Canon did not think of this on a $ 3.000+ lens.

I was a little worried that this might not be sturdy enough, being third party. But now that it's attached to my lens I feel very confident that I made the right choice. It's just as solid as the OEM collar and has the built-in arca swiss plate that I wanted. Attaching a plate to the bottom of the OEM collar isn't ideal as it adds girth.

Fits perfectly. Design and clamp knob is very similar to Canon OEM. Other than the fact that it is black and stands out on the lens, it’s perfect. The Arca Swiss foot works perfectly.
