Switch your lens' original foot for a better-balanced design with the LN-30 Replacement Foot from Markins that is made for the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II, 200mm f/2G ED VR II, and 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II Lenses. The foot is constructed from Duralumin and hard-anodized for a scratch-resistant surface. Dovetails on the bottom of the foot make it compatible with Arca-type heads or clamps, and 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 sockets under the foot can be used to mount directly on a monopod or tripod if no quick release system is present.
