Jobu Design Surefoot SF-NX4 7" Lens Plate

Maximum Balance and Stability for Large Telephoto Lenses

The Jobu Design Surefoot SF-NX4 7" Lens Plate is engineered for photographers using large, professional telephoto lenses, offering exceptional balance and secure mounting. With its extended length, it provides greater fore/aft adjustment, making it ideal for fine-tuning heavy camera and lens setups.


Extended Length for Precise Balance

At 7 inches long, the SF-NX4 delivers increased adjustment range compared to shorter plates, allowing you to perfectly balance larger lenses on gimbals or tripod heads. This is especially useful when working with heavy optics or additional accessories.


Built for Heavy-Duty Use

Constructed with a hard anodised black finish, the SF-NX4 is built to withstand demanding conditions while maintaining a secure hold. Its rugged design ensures reliable performance in both field and studio environments.


Flexible Mounting Options

The plate includes multiple mounting configurations for a precise fit:

  • Three mounting screw positions for versatile lens compatibility

  • Two 1/4"-20 captive screws and one central 3/8"-16 screw

  • Ideal for lenses with multiple mounting holes

This flexibility ensures optimal positioning and stability for a wide range of setups.


Double Dovetail Design for Versatility

The double-dovetail profile allows the plate to be used with both tripod clamps and compatible accessories, including quick release flash brackets. For accessory mounting, ensure approximately ¾" of plate extends beyond the lens foot.


Designed for Professional Telephoto Lenses

The SF-NX4 is specifically suited for large, high-performance lenses such as:

  • 400mm f/2.8

  • 500mm f/4

  • 600mm f/4

Its extended size makes it particularly effective for achieving perfect balance with heavy optics.


Arca-Swiss Compatibility

Fully compatible with Arca-Swiss style clamps, the SF-NX4 integrates seamlessly into most professional support systems.

Note: Best compatibility is with screw-type clamps. Lever-type clamp compatibility may vary depending on manufacturer tolerances.


Important Fit Consideration

Due to its longer design, the SF-NX4 may need to be removed or adjusted to fit into certain hard travel cases, depending on your setup.
