The Leofoto NF-09 Arca Lens Foot is a precision-engineered mounting plate designed specifically for the Nikon NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II lens. Rather than replacing the factory tripod foot, the NF-09 securely attaches to the existing foot, transforming it into a longer, fully Arca-Swiss compatible mounting platform that offers improved balance, greater versatility and enhanced compatibility with professional support systems.
Manufactured from precision CNC-machined aircraft-grade aluminium, the NF-09 is built for photographers who regularly work with tripods, monopods, ball heads and gimbal heads. Its extended design provides significantly more fore-and-aft adjustment than the standard Nikon foot, making it easier to achieve perfect balance when using different camera bodies, battery grips, teleconverters or accessories.
Whether you’re photographing wildlife, sports, aviation, landscapes or action, the NF-09 provides a more stable and efficient shooting experience while maintaining the exceptional quality expected from Leofoto accessories.
Unlike generic Arca plates, the NF-09 has been specifically engineered to fit the Nikon NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II tripod foot.
It mounts directly to the original Nikon foot using the factory mounting points, creating a secure and rigid connection without requiring any permanent modifications to your lens. Installation is quick and straightforward, allowing you to upgrade your support system in just minutes while retaining the original tripod collar and foot assembly.
The precision-machined design ensures a perfect fit that complements the lens while maintaining full functionality of the tripod collar.
One of the biggest advantages of the NF-09 is its extended Arca-Swiss compatible mounting surface .
Compared to the factory tripod foot, the longer platform provides a much greater adjustment range when mounted to an Arca-compatible clamp. This additional length allows photographers to fine-tune the balance point of their equipment, particularly when using different camera bodies or accessories that shift the centre of gravity.
The result is a more balanced setup that improves stability, handling and overall shooting performance.
Whether you’re mounting your lens on a tripod, monopod or gimbal head, the extended Arca platform offers flexibility that the original foot simply cannot provide.
For photographers using professional telephoto lenses, achieving perfect balance on a gimbal head is essential.
The extended design of the NF-09 makes balancing significantly easier by allowing the lens and camera combination to slide further forward or rearward within the clamp. This additional adjustment is particularly useful when using:
A properly balanced setup reduces strain on the gimbal head, creates smoother movement and allows the lens to remain neutral while tracking fast-moving subjects.
This makes the NF-09 an ideal accessory for wildlife, bird, aviation and sports photographers who rely on smooth, controlled movement throughout long shooting sessions.
The NF-09 incorporates a precision-machined Arca-Swiss compatible dovetail , allowing direct mounting to virtually any Arca-compatible support system.
Compatible with:
There’s no need to attach a separate quick release plate, creating a cleaner, simpler and more reliable mounting solution while providing the additional balancing range offered by the extended platform.
Like all Leofoto accessories, the NF-09 is manufactured from high-quality aircraft-grade aluminium using advanced CNC machining techniques.
This manufacturing process ensures:
Every edge is carefully finished for comfortable handling while maintaining the strength required to support professional telephoto equipment.
The NF-09 features Leofoto’s premium hard anodised surface treatment, providing excellent resistance against scratches, corrosion and everyday wear.
Whether used in harsh outdoor environments, dusty locations or challenging weather conditions, the durable finish helps maintain both appearance and performance for years of professional use.
The Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II is trusted by professional photographers covering everything from wildlife and sport to weddings and commercial photography.
The NF-09 complements this exceptional lens by improving the way it integrates with professional support equipment.
Its extended mounting platform allows photographers to spend less time adjusting equipment and more time concentrating on capturing the perfect image.
Whether you’re following birds in flight, tracking racing cars, photographing elite athletes or shooting long-exposure landscapes, the NF-09 provides greater flexibility and confidence when working on a tripod or gimbal.
The Leofoto NF-09 is more than simply an Arca-Swiss mounting plate—it’s a practical upgrade that enhances the usability of one of Nikon’s flagship telephoto lenses.
By securely attaching to the original tripod foot, it adds a significantly longer Arca-compatible mounting surface that makes balancing your equipment faster, easier and more precise. The result is improved stability, smoother operation on gimbal heads and seamless compatibility with virtually any Arca-Swiss support system.
Designed specifically for the Nikon NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II , the NF-09 delivers the precision engineering, durability and functionality that professional photographers demand.
