How does this work with at 70-200 f2.8 lens? Do you attach this to the tri-pod mount on the lens? How easy is it to attach and re-attach?

I don't have the 70-200 lens, I've used it with the 300 f4 with the d7100 and attach vit to the tripod foot on the lens....

Nope-I attach it directly to camera as any other lense. It works great- I take my camera on frequent trail hikes and I can't believe I ever lived without the Spider holster! Marshall Dillon might be able to out draw me but not by much!

Hello,This monopod has a 22lb load capacity. It will handle the 70-200mm2.8 lens without a problem.Regards,RoozbehOC camera949-347-1276

Works fine with my T3i and 70D using either my Canon fast-50 or Tamron 17-270. If you're using a non-Canon lens, make certain its mount is for Canon. Yes, the contacts are there.

As a new enthusiast, I wanted to respond to you quickly. So my initial response is to tell you that this tube works fairly well... but I only tested it on my D300 with a 24~70 lens(2.8).However, I will test it with my D40 this week when it returns from a friend...But my IMMEDIATE advise to you is to take the time to FOCUS MANUALLY and use a tripod to obtain the best results for "macro" photography although the claim is to work with auto-focus lens.

Theres a ring that comes off. Its been a while since ive used mine but you may need to screw on ring to lens first then add the lens adapter. Or try with out the ring? Also it only fitd on my kit lens. Check thread size

I think Tom's answer is the right think to do, I was photographing off road races the last week and as. A test bring my Oly epl 3 with two prime MD lenses a 50 and 200, using the same adapter and works surprisingly GOOD, if you try everything and doesn't work may be its defective! good Luck always here to help if you need.

The problem is the ring interferes with the lens barrel when it's fully retracted. Zoom it out, attach the ring, then when it retracts it will not quite go in as far but will still work. I hope this helps you out altho I dont know if there is much of a loss in focal length, decide for yourself.

probably not the 70-300 lens. an option is to set the pod support so the lens is partially with something- a limb a rock

i have the 60D with a 18-200 ef lens and it holds that easily i think it would be perfectly fine great tri pod

It does come with a tri-pod collar, but I've yet to use it. I purchased the lens...which is excellent...to use on an African photo safari, on which we spent a good part of each day riding around in an open Land Rover, with me shooting the 80-400mm hand-held. I also own the Nikon 200-400mm and the 600mm, and frankly have a tough time seeing the difference in photos shot with the second generation 80-400mm and the bigger lenses. For information and fun, see Ken Rockwell's "Tri-pods are for wimps")

Works great with the 70d. The key to getting great images is the lens. On my 18-135, the results were mediocre. On my 50mm, the results were excellent.

I dont have the same body and lens you have, but I can report success with a 70D body using a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 using this extender. The fstop jumps to f/5.6 and the autofocus still worked perfectly through the next 2 or 3 stops.

The best thing I have found, is to find out the mm of the base you want to mount it to, and get the same size. Are you mounting it to the camera, or another lens? I believe you are trying to go too the camera it's self for close ups. Or are you trying to use it with another lens also? With just what you have given me, I am not sure. With just this lens you do not have A/F or stabilizer.

I elected to put an Arca-Swiss compatible clamp atop the mono-pod to make it easier to quickly change camera bodies and lenses. You might want to put a ballhead or other device, but it will work directly with the tripod mount on the bottom of your camera

It attaches directly to the f2.8 50mm and f2.8 100mm macro lenses. I use it on the 50mm. I can only assume an attachment would be needed, if one exists, to attach it to a different non macro lens.

You need to think on the extra weight of the lens. I would recommend you the Gorilla Pod Focus. I have a Nikon D3100 with a 55-200 mm lens and I use it with the Gorilla Pod Zoom, I dont think it will hold more than that weight.

Mount the lens on the adapter, mount the lens plus the adapter on you camera, focus the lens, set the f stop on the lens, set the shutter speed in your camera using the camera's meter or an external light meter, finally press the shutter. You may have to adjust the exposure slightly for the given scene. This is a fine adapter, well made and it works well, but unless you have an eos 5 series or eos 1 series full frame camera and a a few hasselblad lenses that you can't wait to saddle up then you should not bother. The s series lenses for the corp sensor cameras are very inexpensive and will yield a much more satisfactory experience.
