I normally use whatever foot I need from RRS, but when I needed a foot for the 70-200/S they were out. So I grabbed a Kirk foot for it, and am completely happy with it. I pre-ordered the 100-400/S and have a Kirk foot on the way for it.
I read about issues with 500PF foot, I'm wondering if Nikon addressed it on 70-200s foot.
Some people reported, 500pf dropped from tripod, I think, Steve Perry too.
Perry reported the lens falling when carrying from the foot. This is also what others have experienced. As the lens is carried from the foot it wiggles loose from it and can fall accidentally. IMO the purpose of the foot is to support it when the lens is used on a monopod or tripod, and it was not designed to work as a carrying handle.
There are many reports of people dropping various setups from straps mounted on lens feet. It's not a safe way to transport gear. I put the lens in my backpack for transport.
