Has anyone tried to mount canon 100-400mm Len?

It does not work as smooth as the real Canon tripod mount but it works great and costs a lot less. I use it all the time on my 100-400mm lens. The lens does not rotate as freely with the DSLRKIT mount as with the real Canon mount. The DSLRKIT mount is well made and fits the lens properly.

Yes the mount was designed to work correctly with distance scale on lens. Otherwise it could've just been designed as a flat adaptor.

I bought the mount for a Canon EF 100 1:2.8L IS an it measures 2.704" or 68.68 mm, when I measured the ID of the mount it was difficult to get a true reading because of the felt. The mount fits correctly onto the lens

I've used the Canon Elura 100 with the SLR (not the Zoom), without adding additional hardware. Worked fine. I also straightened out the legs, used one as a forward handle, and used the other two legs to steady the camera against my chest or shoulder when I was handholding the camera. Made for a nice impromptu steadicam effect while traipsing all over the wilds of the central Philippines.

Hi David,Not that I'm aware of. My lense, lent to a mate with a 7100, worked no problem to produce some comparative test images for him against a Nikon 70-200 and he has subsequently gone and bought a 50-150 on the basis of that test! The dealers here in Rome (I've spoken to two) have been perfectly happy to use their USB mounts to update lenses for customers for free. I don't know if that is the case in the UK but I would imagine so, so if you were to find you had an issue (which I believe to be an unlikely scenario) I'd suggest taking it to a Sigma dealer and ask him to update it for you but I really don't think you will find it necessary.Happy New Year.Will Hi David,Not that I'm aware of.

I cant see any problem. I use it with a Canon 65D with battry pack, a 400mm f4 canon lens and 1.4x extender. You can see my pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/8424342@N04/

Yes. The small camera/lens mount cannot support the weight of a heavy lens.

Yes, it worked on my canon t4i which has the standard screw on the bottom. I share gear with a Nikon user and our threads are the same. However, this monopod broke in 2 months (and not from being too rough with it). I often have bought cheaper gear, but this one wasn't worth the $16.

I haven't attempted anything near that weight. It did do well with a DSLR and Tamron 150-600 lens, but that is no where near 33 lbs.

Thank you for your inquiry. This product is for 58mm, it is impossible. Thank you.

I mounted it on a Manfrotto 055XPROB Aluminum Tripod with a Sigma 150-500mm. This works ok, but the head is a little stiff. I have only used it once so far, so it may loosen up after awhile.

It should work with no problem. The mounting bracket is quite adjustable, you just need to set the lens holder to center on the camera lens. I use a fish-eye lens mounted in the lens holder which creates a round final image, but that is the effect I am after. I do not have any other lens to mount so I can't say if there would be a final round image.

make sure you selected the canon mount for any canon DSLR Camera...as the previous answer have experienced.

I believe there is a list of which Canon lenses work with this extender. I have used it on my 200mm F2.8 L and 400mm just fine. I can hand hold it but on the 400 which is 11 lbs. is just a little much and any movement and it is blurred of course. I would suggest checking the list if you haven't. You can most likely find the list at Canons web site.

I have not tried that.. I am using it for Canon T5i with 18-135mm lens and it is good.

I use it with a Canon SLR (T3i) and a 100 to 400 mm lens, also Canon and I have no problem. It does take a bit of familiarization but have gotten some great bird pics at significant distances. If a shoulder mount could be designed for this pistol grip allowing a good steady base I would say the results would rival a ground mounted tripod, the manufacturers would be well advised to consider that approach. Birding requires the ability to move quickly to get the fleeting shot and this pistol grip does that.

I have not. But I do not find the magnetic mount to be problematic when using the camera, just when I store it my camera bag and am willing to tolerate that inconvenience.
