Product Features in Detail

Leofoto NF-08 Arca-Swiss Lens Foot for Nikon Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ
The Leofoto NF-08 Arca-Swiss Lens Foot is a precision-engineered replacement tripod foot designed specifically for the Nikon Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ power zoom lens. CNC-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminium, the NF-08 replaces Nikon’s original lens collar foot with a lighter, stronger, and more versatile mounting solution built for professional photographers and videographers.

Designed to improve handling, stability, and mounting flexibility, the NF-08 features a fully integrated Arca-Swiss dovetail profile, eliminating the need for additional quick-release plates while providing direct compatibility with virtually all Arca-type tripod heads, gimbals, and clamps.

Whether shooting video, wildlife, sports, or run-and-gun documentary work with the Nikon Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ, the Leofoto NF-08 delivers improved ergonomics, enhanced balance, and seamless integration into professional support systems.

Precision CNC-Machined Aluminium Construction
The NF-08 is machined from a single block of 6061-T6 aluminium, ensuring exceptional rigidity, durability, and long-term reliability. This manufacturing process eliminates weak points while maintaining precise tolerances for a perfect fit on the Nikon lens collar.

A hard-anodised black finish protects the surface from scratches, wear, and corrosion while maintaining the premium aesthetic expected from professional camera accessories.

The result is a lightweight yet extremely robust support foot capable of handling demanding shooting environments.

Built-In Arca-Swiss Dovetail
One of the key advantages of the NF-08 is its integrated Arca-Swiss dovetail design. Instead of attaching a separate quick-release plate, the foot itself slides directly into Arca-compatible clamps.

This provides several advantages:
- Faster camera setup and breakdown
- Lower overall profile compared to stacked plates
- Improved balance and stability
- Reduced flex when supporting heavier camera bodies

The integrated dovetail ensures full compatibility with Leofoto, Arca-Swiss, Really Right Stuff, and most Arca-type tripod heads.

Improved Balance and Lower Profile
The NF-08 is designed to lower the centre of gravity of the Nikon Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ when mounted on a tripod. By positioning the lens closer to the tripod head, the system becomes more stable and easier to balance during both photography and video work.

This is particularly beneficial when using the lens on:
- Tripods
- Fluid heads
- Gimbal heads
- Monopods

The improved balance helps minimise vibration and enhances overall stability when shooting long exposures or video.

Ergonomic Silicone Grip for Comfortable Handling
The top surface of the NF-08 incorporates a textured silicone grip pad, providing a comfortable and secure surface when carrying or handling the lens.

This ergonomic grip allows photographers and videographers to:

Safely carry the lens and camera by the collar foot

Maintain a firm hold when moving between locations

Improve comfort during handheld shooting

The textured surface adds both practical functionality and enhanced handling security.

Quick Detach (QD) Strap Socket
For added versatility, the NF-08 includes an integrated QD (Quick Detach) socket, allowing users to attach compatible camera straps or sling systems directly to the lens foot.

This feature enables comfortable carrying solutions without placing additional stress on the camera body.

Multiple Mounting Points
The base of the NF-08 includes 3/8″-16 and 1/4″-20 threaded mounting holes, providing compatibility with a wide range of tripod heads, monopods, and accessories.

The foot also includes dual M3 safety stop screws, preventing accidental sliding when used with quick-release clamps that are partially open.

These mounting options make the NF-08 suitable for both photo and video production workflows.

Perfect Fit for the Nikon Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ
The Nikon Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ is designed as a professional full-frame power zoom lens for video production, featuring internal zoom and balanced operation for handheld, gimbal, and tripod shooting.

The Leofoto NF-08 is engineered specifically for this lens, ensuring precise alignment, optimal balance, and full compatibility with the factory tripod collar.
