Designed for the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR, the AP-500 Quick Release Replacement Foot from Wimberley is an anodized 6061 aluminum foot that is Arca-type compatible for use with most clamps and heads on the market. By replacing the original factory foot, the AP-500 adds rigidness and stability and reduces flex and vibration while mounted on a head. Additionally, a double dovetail allows accessories to attach to the bottom or the top of the foot. The lower profile of the plate provides better balance when mounted on a head as well. If you're going to use the optional safety stop screws, Wimberley recommends using a clamp with channels, which allow the screws on the foot to slide back-and-forth.

Wimberley AP-500 Reviews
Functional, could be better
By Robert
Rated 3 out of 5

Functional, and isn't going to release unexpectedly. Because Wimberly didn't machine a dovetail that would fit tightly to the lens, their design requires a goofy pin (early versions) or set screw (later versions) to tighten up the fit, making it a hassle to install and remove. Functional, but there are better options.
So you have a design flaw . . .

Don't waste your time or money. The item has a design flaw. They include a video explaining it and telling you how to implement their supposed fix. Once you do that it is completely worthless. The foot will not seat squarely on the lens attachment. I have been a product design engineer for 45+ years and found this product pretty laughable!

Is it compatible with Magpul Sling?
Is it compatible with Magpul Sling?
The Magpul QDM quick disconnect swivels do not have a screw mount so they cannot attach to this lens foot.

Does it balance well with 500mm pf and d500/d850 on a gimbal head?
Yes! This is excellent for the combinations you've mentioned. :)

You may use the Kirk QR-AB1QR Universal Quick Release Adapter with Quick Release Clamp, B&H # KIQRAB1QR which will convert your MVH500 to an Arca compatible clamp system.
