Janco Tripod Collar Mount Ring for the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM, EF 300mm f/4L USM, & EF 400mm f/5.6L USM SLR Lenses

Janco Tripod Collar Mount Ring for the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM, EF 300mm f/4L USM, & EF 400mm f/5.6L USM SLR Lenses Review





The lens mount is very well priced, compared to the exorbitant price that Canon sells the similar item for. My only reservation is that the ring mount is not quite tight enough to hold the lens and camera tight. When you turn the camera from landscape to portrait orientation, sometimes the lens turns inside the mount. It can be compensated for by the way you grasp the camera, lens and mount. But for the price it seems a very minor inconvenience. It is metallic with a felt liner inside the ring. If the felt were a little thicker, I think this would solve the problem. Hey, for this price and the money you save, I can live with a little inconvenience. The mount is also reversible so you get the best balance for your camera/lens combination. The mount is small enough that it stores inside the bag that Canon includes with the lens without having to remove the mount.

Customer Reviews


U get what U pay for - Ken - San Jose, CA
This is a piece of junk. I (I'm sure -- like many others) was trying to save some cash by going with this product. Waste of money! The ring is actually plastic. Mine has several cracks (front & rear) after only using it 4 or five times. The only piece of metal on this product is the screw. Don't risk supporting your expensive (or any any other) lenses with this. Luckily I discovered the cracks before a real disaster occurred.

NOT Made of Metal - LM -
I'll start this off by saying I wasn't expecting too much for . However, the item they have stocked is a PLASTIC ring mount. The only metal on it is the brass insert in the base to attach a tripod mount and the knob to tighten the ring. This renders the item pretty much useless as your camera now shows significant shake because the plastic ring mount flexes with the slightest touch or vibration. I contacted the seller and they apologized for the misleading ad and offered a credit for the trouble. As of 7-3 they still haven't changed their false listing- surprise,surprise.

Bottom Line: Buy this only if you're simply concerned with looking like you have a ring mount but don't care about a stable image.






OK but... - Real - Texas
Bought a new Canon 70-200 f/4L. Wasn't sure if I needed a lens mount or not so I ordered one. Item seemed well made but really not needed for my lens. Save your money for something else.
