I bet so. The tripod collar helps my 85~250 quite a bit. Wish I could attach
one to my 200/4 + 2X-A, but a nice bean bag (containing 1 Kg mix of several
kinds of real beans) over the body does make the trick.
Wonder if Mike feels too disappointed when making portaits of foxes or
panorama shots at dawn. Certainly he didn't use aperture pre-fire, but he
was looking for a wooden tripod some weeks ago.
my 2 cents
