Default Canon tripod mount adapter?

Hi,

I was browsing the L lenses, for fun, and noticed this 'accessory' listed
for the 70-200 f/4 L. I can understand on the big honking lenses the need
for a mid-point on which to attach the tripod, for balance, but this lens is
a tiny thing. Is this a necessary item when using a tripod with this lens?

Thanks,
Scott

I wish there was a tripod collar available for the 75-300. Any time you can
center the weight on the tripod it is an improvement over when you cannot.
