Thanks, Ken. I always carry a "bean bag" which is fairly weighty. It's made in such a way that it might have worked well if laid over the camera body and rested partially on the lens. I really can't imagine draping my arm over the lens without this lens picking up my heart beat, but I'll keep it in mind. :)
