The foot does its job as a foot for Arca Swiss mounting. It's sturdy and feels like it's built to the same standard as Nikon's foot. But on the Z9 body the back side of the foot is too close to the bottom of the camera where the secondary grip (for vertical orientation) is located and my fingers sometimes get caught between the foot and the camera body when quickly rotating the camera while handholding. I would have preferred they not have a back portion sticking out and just made the foot longer on the front end of the Arca Swiss plate.

The foot fits perfectly and is the right size. However, I wish it was taller so I could grab it easier to hold the lens by with the foot pointing up. My hands are large, so my fingers are jammed between the bar and the lens.

Photo #1: (top) Hoage v (bottom) Nikon originalPhoto #2: (L) Hoage, (Mid) Nikon original, (R) KirkThe Nikon foot that came with the Z100-400 is a little wimpy. If it was Arca Swiss compatible I might have lived with it for a while but that is not the case, and I needed to replace it. There are many options available to consider and chose to try one from each end of the price range. I bought this Hoage but also one from Kirk as well.As you can see, the Hoage is much stouter than the Nikon. It is rectangular whereas the Nikon tapers. The Nikon is also shorter due to the fact that it slopes forward from the mount. Because of this, the Hoage has about 30% more surface area for the tripod head to grip. All in all, the Hoage feels much more secure both in the hand and on the monopod.The Hoage is so good that I didn't even bother removing the Kirk from the packaging! Kirk does make good products but they are pricy. The Kirk was almost 3x more than this Hoage. The main difference was that the Kirk is about 3/4" longer. The Hoage is the same width. (photo 3)Considering the huge improvement the Hoage was compared to the Nikon, the Kirk seems like major overkill. In fact, it would be more fitting on my Nikon 200-500 which is almost 2 lbs heavier than the 100-400.Needless to say, This Hoage stays with me. The Kirk is going back.

It’s actually very good. I haven’t experienced it accidentally loosening despite being easy to remove and attach. It doesn’t have the bright stainless and blue color to camouflage. It’s QD adapter ready like the expensive ones.

Sturdy, machined very well, fit the Z mount 70-200 &100-400 perfectly (I have both lenses). It will not fit well on the F mount 70-200 though. Highly recommended!Update on usage: Be VERY sure to tighten this down securely. Yesterday dropped my 70-200 as it slid off the when carrying using the foot (hit the release button inadvertently). Surprised there was no safety catch on this foot. Am reconsidering going with another foot...

When I first received the Haoge LF-Z72 I was a bit concerned that the knob holding on the lens might loosen. Now that I've had it about two months, and used the lens almost every day, my concerns were unfouded. It stays tight. It's well made, and essential if you use arca swiss plates.

This is soooo close to being a 5-star product, but it just isn't designed correctly. All the finish and craftsmanship is really well done and it fits in my tripod head perfectly. The only problem is that the little pawl that's meant to be a safety to keep the lens from sliding off the foot is incorrectly sized so it does not engage the pocket in the bottom of the lens. If you don't hear an audible "Click!" as you slide the foot into its final position then it's not engaged! Yes, you can (over) compensate by really cranking down the clamping screw, but if that should ever quietly vibrate loose over time then the lens is at risk of sliding off the foot. Yikes!I debated about whether to send this back, but the amount of time I procrastinated on the return plus other pressing circumstances close to home inspired me to take a Dremel tool to the pawl to cut it back so that it can properly engage the lens. This can be seen in the highlighted area in the photo; the area to the right of the latch face. I'm embarrassed to say that I accidentally got turned around and cut in the the left side of the latch face as well, but that's wasn't at all necessary. Oops. I "touched up" (*cough*) the stray tool marks with a Sharpie to minimize them, but luckily all this stuff is hidden when the foot is mounted. With that simple modification, the foot works like a charm and I look forward to using it for many years.
