Designed for the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS lens, the AP-611 Quick Release Replacement Foot from Wimberley is an anodized 6061 aluminum foot that is compatible with most Arca-type clamps and heads on the market. By replacing the original factory foot, the AP-611 adds rigidness and stability and reduces flex and vibration while mounted to 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 that allow the screws on the foot to slide back and forth.

Wimberley AP-611 Reviews
Poor tolerances, loose fit on Sony FE 70-200 f/2.8 GM OSS
I like the design of this and wanted it to work, but the tolerances on the cutout where it mounts to the lens is very loose. The lens has a dovetail type attachment, but this foot just has a cutout roughly the shape of the lens mount. After mounting and tightening the included Allen screw as much as I was comfortable with, there was considerable wobble between the lens mount and this foot. This allows for more than 1/8th inch of wobble up/down and left/right at the front of the lens. It just doesn't feel sturdy when mounted to a monopod or tripod, and I would be concerned about the long term wear on the lens mount. This replacement foot is also ridiculously and unnecessarily heavy.
Very good quality
Easy to use and install
