Kind of what I thought. Heavy tripod.
Since Cameron thinks the 170-500mm stinks, what do you think of the 50-500mm?

Yes, the lens is mounted directly to the tripod head and the camera just
sort of hangs on the end. Depending on the tripod head that you have (or
are looking at) you may need a quick-release plate for the lens that matches
the head.
The 170-500 is probably a big lens. you want a sturdy tripod wi
