Customer Reviews

Opteka Tripod Collar Mount
The Collar arrived when promised.

The unit seems to be well constructed, mounted fine on my tripod, and firmly held my Canon 30D camera & Canon EF 70-200 lens. The camera and lens seemed to be pretty well balanced.

The one complaint I have with the collar is that to change camera orientation, i.e. rotate from horizontal to vertical, I have to unscrew the collar screw, pull the collar open a little, rotate the camera/lens, reset & tighten the screw. Reviews I have read of the Canon manufactured unit indicate one need only loosen the collar screw a little to rotate the lens/camera.

Opteka tripod collar - money saving alternative to Canon!
As a Canon shooter, I like to keep my gear as "Canon" as possible. I bought a Canon 70-200mm L lens a while ago & found I needed the tripod mount. I just couldn't see spending over $100 for the Canon brand when I could buy the Opteka for around $50! C'mon, it's a metal ring that holds the lens not optical equipment! The Opteka works well, the quality is fine & it fits the lens perfectly. The color is slightly darker than the lens but big deal, my concern is image quality, not "looking cool" and besides, I saved over $100!

Excelent quality!!!
This product is very important if you have a Serie L lense...same color, easy attach, perfect price, if you compare with Canon brand, just perfect!!!
