80mm macro, needs a collar, anyone have a SOLUTION???


Recommended Posts

That is very good question. I'm sure I'd also like to use a collar for tripod especially on less durable mount cameras like X-T30/X-E3.

By looking into lens shape and optical elements position I'd try following solution steps:

  1. Purchasing lens collar that can accept front area of about 63mm diameter
  2. Making or purchasing sliding tripod mount plate.
  3. Mounting lens with tripod collar positioned with leg toward the camera to the sliding mount plate.
  4. Attaching camera, and securing it on other end of the sliding plate.

That should be very durable way to mount lens on a tripod for precise macro without stressing lens body and camera mount.
