Vello Tripod Collar D for Canon Overview

The TC-DBC Tripod Collar from Vello is an easy-to-use tripod collar that's made specifically for the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens. 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.

The foot of this lens ring features Arca-type dovetails, making it compatible with many tripod heads without the need to add a quick release plate.

Compatibility
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens
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 D for Canon Reviews

Exactly What the Canon EF 100mm Macro Lens Needs!

I was lucky enough to get a used Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM that needed some quite major cosmetic repairs at a very good price. I replaced the end sections and it looked and worked just like new. But... it did not come with a collar with a tripod foot and when paired with a 5D III it is needed! Trying to find a Canon OEM collar at an affordable price proved impossible so I went looking for off-brand options and came across this one by Vello and decided to try it. The collar is made of aluminum and comes finished in black and is a good match for the lens itself. The standard of construction for this price point is excellent and everything moved smoothly and locked tight. The foot is solid and has a 1/4 inch female tripod mount should using one be necessary. The foot is of an Arca-Swiss type mount and I tried it on several different ball heads and fluid heads and it was accepted by all without issue. When fitted on the lens it operates flawlessly. So, in a nutshell, if you have this lens but don't have a collar for it then this is a really good choice. A collar makes a heck of a difference to ease of operation and the Vello does everything I need it to do. Highly recommended!

Excellent product.

Fits lens perfectly: tight and secure. The camera (Canon 90D) and lens are well balanced on my tripod and I have no problems with drooping lens syndrome. I have been emailing my frends to buy this fairly priced piece of equipment.

When fully closed, what is the inside diameter of this ring (mm)?

I bought the item this week and using a caliper when the collar is fully closed the inside diameter measures 68mm.
