I noticed this TV commercial from Marriott rewards:

At 11 s, the photographer is shown with his hand holding to a patio frame,
with the long zoom holding on top of his forearm.
I can think of an argument that this way of bracing provides him some
stability.
To me that looked rather weird: he cannot control the focus (and zoom if it
is a zoom lens) this way. If you were photographing wild animals, that
sounds very unreasonable (unless you have some limited
functionality/stability in your left hand, or some other physical
limitations).
What do you think?
I think he's using a camera with a good enough auto-focus system that
he doesn't need to worry about having to tinker with the focus (and,
for wildlife, he's probably shooting at the long end of the zoom range).
And if the bus hits a bump he's a lot less likely to end up on his ass
and/or bust his camera.
