Have to say I really can't see the point of one for the RF 100-400 - I don't have any issue with it with my camera mounted to my tripod, and I've not seen the need for a monopod with this lens. Very different to my experience with both models of the EF 100-400 L - that lens DOES need a tripod collar for sure.
In fact I find it one of the attractions of the RF lens - yet more weight discarded. I love being able to carry this lens when I wouldn't have carried the (wonderful) EF L II lens.

Just took an overseas trip, and used the RF100-400 almost exclusively with the R7 (and kept the R5 as my backup body). It worked great. I added the Haoge HG-R7 L Bracket to allow V+H orientation on a tripod or monopod. I agree that there is no need for a lens-mounted tripod collar.
