Has anyone out there had the tripod collar on the 100-400 ii seize up? Mine won't budge. I've tried everything I can think of and just wondered if anyone else has had success getting it to move.
I've got a workshop coming up in 3 weeks and don't have the time to ship it off for repair.

I still do not know what happened to the collar, but believe I damaged it further trying to get it loose, so don't go there. Luckily I had insurance because the lens had to be repaired by Canon, took a month to get it back at a cost of almost $700.

Beware of overtightening the collar locking screw.

I don't want to remove it. I just want to rotate it so that I can shoot portrait when using my monopod. It won't budge, but it is supposed to rotate similar to the 70-200.
Not exactly like the 70-200mm. Here is page 15, which is referenced in the above illustration.
It is supposed to offer some resistance, and not turn smoothy and continously. It is supposed to click as it turns.
Here I was, planning to go and pick up one of these tomorrow from my favorite superstore.
