Product Overview

Built for long glass and hard use, the Pentax O-TM80 Tripod Mount is the missing link between your DFA 70–200mm f/2.8 or DFA 150–450mm and a rock‑solid shooting platform. Bolting directly to the lens, it shifts the balance point forward so your rig sits level on the tripod, cuts down on vibration, and keeps your AF tracking sharp when you’re panning on fast‑moving subjects.

The low‑profile, aluminium mount is shaped to stay out of the way when you’re working the zoom ring, with a positive locking knob that won’t creep loose mid‑shot. Whether you’re parked on a hillside glassing deer, tracking footy under lights, or lining up distant birds on the estuary, the O‑TM80 gives your telephoto setup the stability and control it needs to deliver clean, crisp frames all day.
