I have some work to do. This lens has a non-standard mount: It has what looks to be a factory flange; a pattern of (4) metric screws into the collar, two threaded holes for the tripod screws. They look to be 1/4 inch, I have not confirmed. The designers felt this thing was too heavy and long for a single screw mount. I must say I would agree. It could get away from a single screw.
That Red Accent quick release would not cut it, IMO. I'll have to come up with something. Not so easy as it might seem.
Now, if there is a quick release head that fits this flange... ???. That may have been the idea.
Edit: I see some heavier plates with dual 1/4 screws, on a variable distance. Those would work. Now, I get to consider spending more on a lousy tripod than I paid for the lens! I think I will DIY.
