Kirk LP-70V2 replacement lens foot for Nikon Z 70–200 mm f/2.8 VR S & Z 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 VR S

Kirk LP-70V2 replacement lens foot, precise handling and secure support for Nikon Z telephoto lenses

The Kirk LP-70V2 replacement lens foot is the ideal solution when you want to get the full potential out of your Nikon Z telephoto lenses. Instead of settling for the standard lens foot, you get a significantly more stable, well-designed and versatile alternative. The replacement foot is swapped directly for the original part and transforms your lens into an optimally balanced unit for use on a tripod or gimbal.

Made from high-quality 6061-T6 aluminum and precisely machined, the LP-70V2 impresses with its combination of stability, low weight and thoughtful design. At just 99 g, your setup remains pleasantly lightweight, while the robust construction ensures maximum reliability. The surface is anodized in either black or satin silver and provides effective protection against scratches and wear in daily use.

Compatibility and precise matching to Nikon Z telephoto lenses

The Kirk LP-70V2 was specially developed for selected Nikon Z telephoto lenses and adapts optimally to their design. It is compatible, among others, with the following models:

• Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S
• Nikon Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S
• Nikon Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S
• Nikon Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S

This precise matching results in significantly better balance on the tripod. This is particularly noticeable with longer focal lengths or heavy camera-lens combinations. Vibrations are reduced, stability is increased and you can fully concentrate on your shots.

A practical detail: the lens hood can remain mounted in the transport position. This saves time and makes the switch between transport and use much more convenient.

Direct Arca-style integration for quick-release systems

The integrated Arca-style compatible dovetail makes the LP-70V2 particularly convenient in use. You can insert the replacement foot directly into 38 mm quick-release clamps without an additional plate. This not only saves weight, but also simplifies your entire setup. Note: you can find ARCA-compatible components and systems here.

The profile is compatible, among others, with clamps from Kirk, Really Right Stuff, Wimberley, Acratech, Markins, Jobu Design, ProMediaGear and many other manufacturers. If you already use an ARCA system, the LP-70V2 integrates seamlessly and enables fast, secure operation without detours.

Especially in wildlife, sports or nature photography, this direct compatibility is a real advantage. Position the camera, clamp it, done – no screws or readjustments.

QD strap socket for carrying comfort and quick changes

A real highlight is the integrated QD strap socket. This allows you to use compatible quick-release strap systems. You can carry your setup directly on the lens, exactly where the weight is. To use it, you need a strap with QD strap anchors, see here.

This ensures a significantly more comfortable carrying experience while relieving the camera mount at the same time. You will quickly come to appreciate this difference, especially during longer sessions or when moving between different locations. The switch from tripod operation to handheld use takes just a few seconds.

Safety features, threads and dimensions at a glance

The Kirk LP-70V2 offers two integrated safety stop screws that prevent accidental slipping out of the quick-release clamp. This is an important safety feature, especially in hectic situations or on uneven terrain.

In addition, there are two threaded sockets on the underside: one 3/8" UNC and one 1/4" UNC thread. This gives you flexibility even if you want to work without an ARCA clamp or use special accessories.

The thoughtful design with a length of 10.87 cm and compact dimensions ensures that the foot sits firmly while remaining easy to grip. The width of 5.6 cm including the locking knob supports secure handling.

Material, workmanship and design for continuous use

The 6061-T6 aluminum used is one of the most proven materials in professional photography. It offers an excellent combination of low weight and high strength. Combined with the anodized surface, this results in a durable product that easily withstands intensive use.

The LP-70V2 is designed to remain permanently on the lens. It becomes a fixed part of your setup and ensures that you are always ready to use your camera safely on a tripod. This everyday practicality makes it a worthwhile investment for ambitious photographers.

Summary, functional upgrade for stability and workflow

The Kirk LP-70V2 is more than just a spare part. It is a well-thought-out upgrade for your entire camera setup. With ARCA compatibility, QD strap socket, precise fit and robust construction, it offers exactly the features that really matter in everyday photography.

If you work with Nikon Z telephoto lenses and value stability, flexibility and efficient handling, this lens foot is a clear recommendation. You benefit from better balance, faster operation and an overall more pleasant user experience, all at an excellent price-performance ratio.
