We're missing this info in our database, so I'd appreciate it if someone who owns the 560mm could weigh the detached tripod mount (and the lens itself also, if possible).

Thanks in advance!

I don't believe that you actually detach the tripod foot from a DA 560, if I remember correctly.

Agreed. It does rotate and the handle itself has four screws, but it certainly isn’t removable in the usual sense.
