Haoge LF-N72 Lens Collar Replacement Foot for Nikon 70-200mm - Arca

In this review the Haoge LF-N72 is evaluated as a direct replacement lens foot for Nikon 70-200mm and 500mm telephoto lenses, aimed at photographers who want a cleaner Arca-style mounting solution. The bottom line: it is a practical, well-built replacement that converts the stock foot into an integrated Arca quick release plate, reducing setup time and unnecessary weight. For shooters who use Arca-type heads and prefer to avoid extra plates, this replacement foot delivers improved workflow and a sturdy feel.

Key Features

• Direct replacement: Replaces the stock lens foot on compatible Nikon telephoto lenses so the lens mounts directly to Arca-compatible heads without an extra plate.
• Built-in Arca plate: The integrated Arca-type quick release plate reduces the need for a separate tripod plate, saving time when swapping gear.
• Dual functioning attachment: The design lowers overall setup weight and eliminates an additional plate, simplifying travel and field use.
• Solid construction: Customers report durable, tank-like build quality that stands up to regular mounting and unmounting.
• Compatibility focus: Specifically made for several Nikon AF-S telephoto lenses so fit and balance are maintained for supported models.

Who It's For

This replacement foot is best for landscape, birding, and sports photographers who already own an Arca-compatible tripod head and want a faster, neater mounting workflow for the Nikon AF-S 70-200mm models or the 500mm PF. It suits photographers who value a lower part count and prefer the security of a permanently attached Arca plate.

It is not for users with Nikon Z-mount lenses or owners of telephoto models outside the listed AF-S 70-200mm and 500mm f5.6E PF ED VR lenses. Buyers who need universal compatibility across many lens models should consider traditional removable plates instead.
