Wimberley AP-606 Replacement Foot for Canon 200-800 RF f/6.3-9

The AP-606 Replacement Foot fits the 200-800 RF f/6.3-9 Canon lenses and serves three main purposes: 

1. Added Stiffness over the factory tripod mounting foot connected to a lens plate, reducing flex and vibration. 

2. Functions as the Arca-Swiss style quick-release plate for your lens. 

3. Creates a more ideal geometry for using your lens on the Wimberley Sidemount Head and Sidekick, allowing the lens to balance optimally. 

Wimberley lens plates are compatible with Arca-Swiss style quick-release clamps such as those made by Wimberley, Kirk Enterprises, Really Right Stuff, Arca-Swiss, Markins, and others.

Installation Instructions 

1. Install the enclosed bushing in the 3/8 hole (Fig. 1). 

2. Attach the AP-606 plate to the lens using the enclosed 1/4-20 screws (Fig. 1). 

3. Drive the screw in until you first meet resistance, then turn it about 30° farther to establish appropriate, but not excessive, torque. Do not over tighten; it is possible to shear the head off the fastener with the hex key included. 

4. Install safety stop screws as shown on (Fig. 3). Safety stop screws are not required, however they keep your lens and camera secure when using a compatible QR clamp.

Using Flash Brackets 

Wimberley replacement feet have a double dovetail cross-section. The upper dovetail allows you to attach Wimberley Flash Brackets as well as other 3rd party quick-release style brackets. 

Using the Optional Safety-Stop Screws 

Your Wimberley foot comes with two safety stop screws and a matching 2.5mm hex key. Two of these screws are intended to be screwed into the small bottom threaded holes in the front and back of the foot (Fig. 3) to serve as stops that prevent the foot from accidentally sliding out of the quick-release clamp. If you opt to use both stops, you must open the jaws of the quick-release clamp wide enough to load your lens from the top (instead of sliding it in).

Safety Stop Channels We recommend using clamps with safety stop channels. These channels allow a full range of forward and backward motion but will not let the plate slip out if the clamp is inadvertently loosened.
