Hello,
I have a D3300 camera and an AF-S NIKKOR 55-300MM 1:4.5-5.6G lens. When I use this combination in my hands it is fine. I support the lens with my left hand.
However, I have now bought a tripod and head, and I am concerned about the weight of the lens as it does not have a tripod support collar (I hope that is the correct term) and when I put it on the tripod the weight of the lens falls on the mechanism holding the lens to the camera.
Is this a problem? Should I try to get a collar?
Thank you for your help.
