This plate fits Nikon lenses 500 f4 AFS I & II, 500 VR and 200-400 VR.

Nikon's large AF-S lenses have tall mounting feet, making them lenses top heavy, difficult to pack and hard to fully balance them on a Wimberley tripod head. Fortunately, these feet are easily removed. Wimberley offers special plates that replace the feet of these lenses and also serve as the Arca-Swiss style quick-release plate for the lens. These adapter plates reduce the weight and bulk of your lens and, more importantly, lower the center of gravity of the lens, thus making the lens easier to handle.

The AP-553 lowers the overall height of the 500 f4 lens by about 2; the 200-400 f4 by about 1.25". Please note that this particular plate mounts so close to the lens that it is difficult to use the plate as a handle.

For another option, please consider the AP-554.

Includes a 5 year warranty. Please see the Specifications tab below for additional information and training videos.
