I'm looking to get a replacement foot for my Canon 100-400 IS II ,lens. I was wondering if anyone has tried both and can comment on the pros and cons of each. The Kirk seems to have a lower profile, while the RRS foot gives more room to get your fingers under it. Does the RRS foot fit in the case since it's about 1/2 taller? 


Thanks,

Brian

I've had some trouble with the RRS foot hitting the camera body while using a 1Dx M2.  It's workable, but it is a little annoying.

RRS does the same for my 1Dx2 and I agree with you.  Don't know about fitting in the case, I don't remember what came with the lens it is still in the box as I don't use them.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm going to get the lower profile Kirk foot. I have a RRS BH-55 Ball head which I'm sure it fits.

I have the RRS model and the bars that prevent rotation come loose occasionally. Not the best design.
