iShoot Tripod Mount Ring for Rokinon/Samyang 24mm Tilt-Shift - Arca QR

In this review the iShoot Tripod Mount Ring is evaluated for photographers who own the Rokinon or Samyang 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC tilt-shift lens and need a dedicated collar with quick release compatibility. The bottom line: this is a purpose-built, lightweight lens collar that adds a 46mm Arca-style quick release plate and a secure non-slip lock, making tripod work and panoramic setups noticeably easier. Installation requires careful alignment, but once fitted the collar feels solid and designed specifically to avoid interfering with the lens' commonly used switch.

Key Features

• Tailor-made fit: Precisely designed for the Rokinon and Samyang 24mm f/3.5 tilt-shift lenses so the collar aligns with the lens controls and holds securely.
• Built-in Arca quick release: A 46mm long Arca-style plate on the bottom allows direct mounting to compatible 39mm Arca-swiss fit ball heads and clamps for fast tripod changes.
• Secure locking: Large non-slip knob and stainless-steel anti-slip screw provide a reliable lock so the lens stays steady during long exposures and panning.
• Protective contact surface: Elastic rubber particles on the inner surface reduce abrasion and improve grip without marring the lens barrel.
• Lightweight construction: Made from aviation-grade aluminum with CNC machining and anodized finish to keep weight low (about 165g) while remaining rigid.
• Multiple tripod interfaces: Plate includes reserved 1/4' and 3/8' screw holes so the collar can be used with a range of tripod plates and direct mounts.

Who It's For

This collar is aimed at landscape, architecture, and tilt-shift shooters who use the Rokinon or Samyang 24mm tilt-shift lenses and want a dedicated support that integrates an Arca-style quick release. It suits photographers who frequently switch between handheld and tripod work and need precise orientation during stitched panoramas or critical compositions.

Photographers who own other lenses, or who expect a universal collar for different focal lengths, should look elsewhere because this product is explicitly tailored to these two 24mm tilt-shift models and must be aligned accurately during installation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Purpose-fit design that avoids interference with the lens switch and provides stable support for the specific 24mm tilt-shift lenses.
• Arca-compatible 46mm quick release plate makes tripod mounting fast and broadly compatible with 39mm Arca-swiss fit heads and clamps.
• Aviation aluminum construction with anodized finish keeps the collar light and durable for field use.
• Inner rubber particles and large knob give a secure, non-marring hold on the lens barrel.

Cons

• Installation can be fiddly and requires accurate alignment; the ring is fixed by the lens switch and cannot rotate freely.
• Not universal: this collar cannot be used with other lenses beyond the specified 24mm tilt-shift models.
