Have the Stativschelle now since a few days on my 70-200 f4 in use and am very satisfied! The clamp is made entirely of metal and the workmanship is top. No points at which my lens could be damaged, the hinge makes a stable impression and the inside is lined with a thin felt. The thread for tripod is also working well. The clamp is very well located and fixed on the lens and with a slight loosening of the screw can be rotated the lens (and will still be kept well). The only problem is that the clamp can not be closed completely when I mounted it. Ie it is a small gap between the two halves. But for me no problem, because the screw is long enough to still fit securely. Therefore 5 stars.
