LEOFOTO Arca-Swiss add-on plate for the RF200-800mm lens

JFG — Wed, 14 May 2025 03:41:48 GMT

Hello everyone, 👋

For all that own a RF200-800mm f6.3-9 IS USM lens that missed the Arca Swiss mount on the lens foot, the LEOFOTO Arca-Swiss add-on plate is for you. I purchased one and, WOW, I was impressed when I received it. It's amazingly well made and unlike a simple arca swiss add-on plate, this plate is designed to cradle the RF200-800's foot so that it is a much lower profile solution. It fits the foot like a glove with a front lip that cradles the front fitting it snuggly, making it look like it's part of the foot. Check out the pictures below.

I purchased mine from Amazon.

I do like the way it cradles the lens’ foot, but I wound up buying one from Haoge as I wanted a place to attached a Peak Design strap. I find attaching the strap to the lens foot more comfy than to the built in attachment points on the lens. Is just my personal preference.

Hi JeffXB,

I also got the Cotton Carrier longer tripod adapter plate for my RF200-800mm f6.3-9 that allows me to seamlessly change between my Cotton Carrier System and Tripod Head. This plate also allows me to adjust the camera position to better balance larger camera/lens setups while holstered in my Cotton Carrier system. I also use it with my Cotton Carrier CCS SteadyShot which is designed to support your camera with a big lens.

It's always best to go with what works better for you!
