    Tripod ring for 70-200 f4

    We ordered a cheepo tripod ring from B-V Electronics via Amazon, shipped from UK and fast delivery but the screw thread was too short once on the lens and would not grip to tighten. Its been returned and we will get a full refund. Any other ideas of suppliers - prefer UK rather than Hong Kong etc

    Cheers Phil, I thought there was another thread about it somewhere. Having now checked on ebay there are a couple of UK suppliers who I might try

    I am more than happy with the collar that I got. It looks just like the canon one without the price tag

    Hi Phil

    The one we got looked fine and solidly built apart from the short screw
    Can you remember the seller you got yours from

    I bought one from ebay. It is fine for the money. It came from China and took about 1 week to arrive. It cost me £6.99.

    Hi Stan,

    They also have it listed for £5.99 if you want to pay more! I missed the £4.64 priced option when I bought it!

    As you say, if it never turns up it is not much to lose - you can get your money back via paypal anyway.
