A versatile upgrade for lens stability, the Leofoto Replacement Foot is specifically designed for the Nikon NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR lens. Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, it has an integrated Arca-type dovetail for compatibility with a wide range of quick release clamps and tripod heads. Using the 3/8"-16 or 1/4"-20 threaded mounting hole, the foot attaches to the lens's rear tube via the collar and locking knob. A PVC lining allows for smooth rotation without damaging your lens. A textured silicone grip improves handling, while dual safety stop screws on the base prevent accidental release. The built-in Quick Detach (QD) socket supports fast and secure strap attachment.

Leofoto NFC-01 Reviews
Structural Not Sound
The Replacement foot has a hinge for installation as does the Nikon collar. Leofoto failed to understand this hinge requires additional material around the hinge pin to create a strong joint. Note the Nikon original and other third-party manufactures understood this and added material around the hinge pin. I would not trust Leofotos foot with the 5-pound lens and either a 2- or 3 pound camera hanging from a strap or even attached to a tripod when carrying the tripod over my shoulder. I am returning with concerns of cracking around this hinge pin and failing.
No-brainer upgrade
If you own the Nikon 180–600mm, this is a no-brainer upgrade. It transforms the lens from “good but slightly clunky” to fully optimized for professional use, especially if you rely on tripod systems or shoot on the move. It’s not just an accessory—it’s a workflow and ergonomics upgrade that you’ll feel immediately in real shooting conditions.
