Do you all use the 70-200 with the tripod mount? I took mine of real quick since I don't shoot that often on tripod and don't think I need to hold it for stability as with my previous 70-200s.

I still like using it as a handle.

There ya go. Indeed with my RF100-500 and the RF70-200 I do tend to walk around using the mount as a handle. pretty nice balance and convenient

The problem with Canon’s tripod collars/feet is they require a external Arca-Swiss plate and aren’t designed to take a replaceable foot that is often a better handle design.

+1 I did add a Wimberley plate to my 100-500’s foot to have a better handle.  😊

And the 100-400ii’s foot was at least replaceable with the much more useful RRS foot.  Wish the RF had been designed that way.
