Improves Balance. The Nikon Tripod Mount For 70-200mm f/4G secures the Nikon 70-200mm f/4G AF-S VR to your tripod, making the lens and camera more stable by letting you shift the center of gravity to any position on the lens to ensure the weight is distributed evenly.

Portrait / Landscape Rotation. Securing the camera with a ring around the lens lets you rotate the lens between portrait and landscape modes without removing the camera from the tripod. The camera’s position indicates portrait or landscape mode, not the lens’s position. You can tighten the friction thumbscrews to secure the camera in either position, and you can rotate the ring into an out-of-the-way position when it’s not needed.

Ease of Use. You use a thumbscrew to control this tripod mount ring, making it easy to make adjustments on the fly. The ring’s hinged design lets you disconnect the lens from the tripod while keeping it attached to the camera.
