Here is a lens gadget that probably has some interesting application beyond the manufacturer's intent.

I haven't figured out yet what that application might be, though.

I guess it's very convenient when you need to change your lens. but If you don't mount it properly... don't even want to think about..

Well, if someone hasn't figured out how to mount lenses properly, he's going to have some serious problems with or without that gadget.

I'm not certain I would trust it with anything of significant size/weight. Those two lugs into the barrel (probably plastic) just seem risky. Then the site states you can attach two lenses to top it off!

I had never heard of the "Movo Rapid Multi-Lens Changer" before O saw this thread, but I did just now do a search on Youtube (external link) to see if there was anything there with a video to show how it was used.

They do have a video for a Nikon lens changer (different name)

I don't think I will get one for my Canon....

All i am saying is mistakes can happen and this doesn't look like anything that can safeguard unfortunate mistake :) it would be though very handy to change your lens.

I have the Lens Flipper, and it's held my 70-200mm and 85L whilst I was swapping them out with no problems. It's definitely a very handy gadget!

otoh hand I find it interesting as designed as opposed to sling back to open. dig for lens. remove lens rear cap then replace lens cap on new lens and click on then reverse if it is for one picture.
