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...
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.
Thank you for taking the time to post the diagram. I did try mounting it to the monopod and my tripod. The locking knob rotated fine, but somehow it was jammed tight. When I took it into the shop they pulled another one out and it rotates quite free...
Thanks all, but my collar won't rotate even a little. I've loosened the knob all the way, even removed it to see if some dirt might have gotten in, but it will not rotate. My sister had this lens also. Her collar rotates just fine, so I know there is...
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.
