Hello,
As mentioned in the review of this specific lens, the tripod mount collar position does not allow balancing correctly the lens (front heavy).
I’m struggling in finding a solution to at least
improve the situation knowing that I own a Manfrotto tripod head with the quick release 200 PL plate. The fix would be to find a bracket or bar or plate about 4 inches long where I could screw on one end the 200 PL quick release plate (for the tripod head) and attach the lens at the other end with a conventional 1/4” mounting screw. The tripod head would be hence displaced tho the front end of the lens, improving the balance.
Could anyone make a suggestion to find something allowing this configuration? I looked in the accessories offered by Manfrotto, Arca, Peak design and other without success to date.
Thanks
