[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 124371, member: 9240"] The 80-400mm is about 3.5lbs, so a 10.7lb estimate isn't exactly accurate. That said, with the Sigma 120-300mm I mentioned, it would get close to that, and yeah, you don't want to handhold that for hours. I did use one for about 15 minutes mounted to a Canon pro rig (I refuse to memorize their names when I don't need to) and was glad that I do enough push-ups daily that I was able to handle it. That said, for anything over a couple minutes a monopod would work wonders and, yes, you want VR with a monopod. [/QUOTE]
