Lens turbo PK-NEX tripod collar

Hi all,

I have recently bought a second hand NEX6 and then,
a few days ago, a lens turbo adapter to use all my Pentax lenses.

I have tried some manual lenses and work fine, but I'd like to know if
someone has tried to adapt some kind of tripod collar such as the
Novovlex

I know this might be something weird but some old lenses weight a lot, and I don't want to use the
to use the camera's tripod screw, just in case I need a tripod....

I know some "standard" , adpters (without internal lens) have a tripod mount and specially the Novoflex NEX/PENT, the most expensive one has that tripod collar.


Thanks,

Jose.

I will wait for the $12.95 version.
Opteka Lens Tripod Collar for Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L, 300mm f/4, 400mm f/5.6 USM

BTW I use the 300mm F4 M* lens with the PK-NEX Turbo adapter with no problems.

Hi jogiba, thank you for your comment.

You can use a heavy lens with adapter for sure: one hand in camera and the other under the lens.
But, what if I need to use a really low shutter speed and low ISO?

It's just that I'd like to have the "tools" to get camera and lens on a tripod.
