Something I recommended quite a while back....sandbag type gun rests. Can be had very cheaply from most good sporting goods stores.

The ol pipe insulation trick is a good one, but not sure how it would compress with heavier lenses.


It does fine with heavy lens. I use it with the 600II. I use the heavier duty kind though.

Thanks Methodical. I'll have to keep that in mind.

Here's what I was referring to -

I use bean bags, but I designed my own to provide a little more height, and I also designed what I call my "flying saucer ball head" to allow easy panning and tilting on the bean bag, and it adds a little more height too. Here's the projects on my web site.

Nice Fred! That bag should be called "The Molar" or "The Wisdom Tooth".

Well, "Molar" was taken, but "The Wisdom Tooth" might be open to use

I like "The Wisdom Tooth" better......except the name implies discomfort, maybe not great for marketing.

Don't know if they're still in business but Leonard LeRue (SP?) used to sell a device for big lens support from cars.
