Vello Tripod Collar A for Canon Overview

The TC-ABC Tripod Collar from Vello is an easy-to-use tripod collar that's made specifically for the Canon 200mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/4, and 400mm f/5.6 lenses. The collar improves stability by redistributing the camera and lens weight. Rotating your camera from vertical to horizontal orientation is fast and effortless, and the vertical and horizontal marks on the ring assures that your camera is always in perfect alignment.

Compatibility
Canon 200mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/4, and 400mm f/5.6 lenses
Vertical and Horizontal Alignment
Change camera orientation from vertical to horizontal with a simple rotation, turn the large ergonomic locking knob to hold its position. The collar features horizontal and vertical marks to ensure perfect alignment.
Easy Installation
Effortlessly mount the camera and lens to a tripod without interrupting your shoot. The collar quickly snaps and locks around the lens, and a quarter-turn of the locking knob tightens and secures the ring.
Secure Fit
The collar ring's fabric interior offers a snug grip and protects against scratching the lens barrel, and assures a tight and secure fit.
Improves Tripod-Mounted Lens Balance
Mounting a camera and lens to a tripod using the camera's mounting socket is not ideal when using heavy, telephoto lenses, placing excessive stress on the lens mount. The lens ring moves the center of balance of the camera and lens set forward for more even weight distribution and balance.

Vello Tripod Collar A for Canon Reviews

Works as advertised

By Marshall
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-08-17

I had been using the tripod collar from my 400mm lens on my 200mm f/2.8 lens when mounted on a star tracker for astrophotography. I no longer have the 400mm lens so I needed a new tripod collar for the 200mm lens. This Vello collar works as advertised, but I did not give it 5 stars for two reasons. First, it seemed a bit more difficult to attach the collar to the lens than with the one I had been using - getting it around the lens barrel and getting the tightening screw reconnected. Second, I like to store the 200mm lens hood in the reverse position on the lens barrel to save space, and with the new tripod collar in place, the lens hood hits the base of the collar and will not lock in place. Finally, and this is not an issue with the Vello tripod collar, but something that I had not considered. I attach the camera and lens to my star tracker using an ARCA plate, and thought that with the ARCA-type foot on this collar, I would not need to use an ARCA plate. However, the ARCA plate has safety pins on both ends to prevent the camera and lens from sliding off the bracket if it gets loose when pointing up, and the Vello tripod collar does not have the safety pins, so I still need to use an ARCA plate with the new tripod collar.

Good Purchase
