Sigma 100-400 Tripod Collar Unboxing (ASMR)

If you want to skip the short intro, the video starts at 00:08.
The Sigma 100-400 f/5.0-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary lens is an awesome lens that's surprisingly affordable given its build and image quality. There is one thing missing though, and that is a tripod collar. It's not included with the lens, and even worse, Sigma doesn't even make one.
Well, iShoot saved the day and made a great tripod collar that doesn't cover the focus distance window or any of the buttons. And the feature that makes it truly awesome: it has a built-in Arca-Swiss tripod plate.
In this video you get to join me for the unboxing experience.
This is an ASMR video that was made for entertainment and relaxing purposes only. If this does not entertain nor relax you, I'm truly sorry.
The main camera used for filming this episode was a Sony A7RII recording in 4k 30p. The B-roll was shot using a Sony A6300 recording in 4k 30p. The sound was picked up on two Røde NT1-A condenser microphones and fed into a Zoom H5. All sound was edited in Audacity and all video was edited in DaVinci Resolve 16.
Thank you for watching, I'd be thrilled if you would like, share, and subscribe if you found this video enjoyable.

That’s 7 minutes 25 seconds of my life I’m never getting back. Whole thing could have been done in 1 minute!

[@untoldtranquility8754]

I mean.. you're not wrong.. Could probably be done in about 20 seconds if you really made an effort.

I fell asleep 😴

[@debrapeasley2606]

It was a nice try but WAY too dark. Between the black lens and the black background, I couldn't see what you were doing.

[@philclint]

Mine arrives today by 10pm

[@georgepetroff5473]

Black product on black background. Seemingly you are a student of photography. If your goal was to limit seeing how it fits......BINGO!!

[@chuckchoi3794]

Can you rotate the ring for portrait shots?

[@chasingmanhattan]

Awesome vid man.

[@caneraksel3340]

hi my friend, is this ring suitable for Sigma 105mm macro?

[@TheRedSatan10]

why do you need the LA-EA adapter?

[@akulTV]

Very nice :D

[@untoldtranquility8754]

Thanks! :D

[@tonraynavy]

Do you know if this works for sigma 100 400, Sony E version?

[@RScottDuncan]

I just purchased the ishoot tripod collar for the same sigma 100-400. How have you liked the tripod collar all this time? I just worry about damaging the barrel of my lens. Any issues? Thanks!

[@untoldtranquility8754]

I haven't been very active in my photography for a while, but I still have the collar and I rarely use the lens without it attached. It can leave some traces after being attached and detached many times, but the paint or color on the lens has not been affected. Over all I'm still very happy with it and it does a great job, a collar should really have been included with the lens, its way too big to use on a tripod without one.

[@crestonburks2141]

Nice. Can you please put a link or info to where you purchased the tripod collar (mfg. website, etc) Thank you.

[@untoldtranquility8754]

Certainly, I purchased it from Amazon Germany. I searched for "iShoot SM140" and got a few hits. It is also available at eBay, but Amazon was a bit cheaper when I bought it.
