Canon Tripod Mount Ring C For 70-300mm Lens
The Tripod Mount Ring C from Canon is designed for the 70-300mm lenses. The ring makes rotating your lens easier and the built-in tripod collar improves lens balance by screwing into the tripod mount.
- Improves Lens Balance
- The ring secures your lens to the camera's tripod
- Thumbscrews Tighten And Loosen Ring
- Having thumbscrews control the ring make it easy to adjust the tripod ring on the go
- Gives Your Camera Setup Better Balance
- The ring adds stability to your camera and lens. Due to its weight, when the lens is mounted with a camera on a tripod, the center of gravity is shifted to the lens. The ring attaches to the tripod and can be shifted to any position on the lens, ensuring the weight is evenly distributed
- Rotation
- Having the camera secured with a ring around the lens makes it possible to rotate the lens between landscape and portrait modes without removing the camera from the tripod. The friction thumbscrews can then be tightened to secure the camera in the desired position. When not needed, the ring can be rotated to an out of the way position
- Hinged Design
- The hinge provides the ability to keep the lens attached to the camera while disconnecting the lens from the tripod

Comments about Canon Tripod Mount Ring C For 70-300mm Lens:
The tripod ring definitely allows for better balance on the tripod. It is well built and fits perfectly. Having used the lens without the ring for several months while waiting for the ring to become available, I can definitely say this is a very good accessory. I do belive it should be priced lower.

Comments about Canon Tripod Mount Ring C For 70-300mm Lens:
There are many non canon tripod mount support rings our there. I have heard nothing but how bad they are with causing scratches, not well made, slightly improper fitting, etc. Spend the extra money and get the ring that was made for your canon lens. You"ll be happy you did.

This is a much needed solution to balancing the camera for tripod use. Have to admit I thought I didn't need it. I was wrong, very wrong.

Comments about Canon Tripod Mount Ring C For 70-300mm Lens:
I bought a Chinese knock off and it did the job it was made to do. However, the threaded thumbscrew was slightly short and only about two threads were engaged when tightened. I was worried that the camera and lens was not being held securely when mounted on a tripod and slung over my shoulder when walking. Last week B&H notified me that the Canon ring was finally in stock and I decided to get one, even though I considered it ridiculously expensive. It was shipped in less than 12 hrs. When I opened it I was very happy to see that it had a hook and spring loaded latch mechanism to securely hold the ring from opening inadvertently, just like the rings on their other telephoto L lens ring mounts. I decided immediately to keep it. It works very well and is obviously Canon quality. The only reason I rated it 4 instead of 5 is because I still consider it overpriced.

Comments about Canon Tripod Mount Ring C For 70-300mm Lens:
A tough one to find but this is the one you want for the 70-300 II. The knock off rings don't fit but this is a star. Pricey but now I see it was worth the wait. Thanks B&H for the notification and blistering fast shipping.
