I believe we should be starting the design process for the collar for the AF-S 80-400mm lens soon, so it will be 6 weeks at the earliest that we see those collars.
We’re in the process of designing the replacement collar for that lens now, and should have pre-orders open soon. If you need a plate right away, we’d recommend the MPR-113 multi-purpose rail with the curved side of the flange against the back of the foot.
When you do design it, may I suggest/request that the screw mechanism not be on the end of a long stem like on the older 80-400 collar. When handheld and with the foot removed, this protrudes too far and would actually be better if designed to be stubby like the Nikon original.
When will you have a collar for the new Nikon 80-400mm lens?
Love your products.

Hi Greg,

Let me know when I can purchase a collar for the new Nikon 80-400mm lens.

Re: New Nikon 80-400mm AF-S Lens
Are there any updates yet on when you’ll have the foot plate alone or the foot plate-collar combo available.
Hope soon!
Thanks!
