Easily installs and incorporates an Arca-Swiss style tray into the foot, reducing the height of the stack.

Includes 2 safety stop screws (M3) to prevent damage to your equipment by accidentally preventing it from slipping out of your Arca-Swiss type quick release.

The AP-554 replaces the stock foot on Nikon lenses 200-400 VR & VR II, 500 f / 4 AF-S I, II, VR I & II.

This is an alternative to the AP-553 board.
 

It has the advantage of greater distance between the body of the lens and the foot, making it easier to use the foot as a handle for your goal.
 

In addition, it is longer, which allows you to balance your lens properly when using lightweight cameras.

It will allow you to balance your lens with all pro's and pro-sumer Nikon cameras, even when using telephoto (see table below for more details).

This is the only replacement foot on the market for these lenses that allow this completeness in balancing.

We used finite element analysis to design the foot with a good balance of weight savings and rigidity.

Reduces the total height of the lens 500mm by 2.54cm and for the lens 200-400mm by 0.254cm.
