EOS 100 - 400 L USM IS and lens mount

[herman]

I have just bought the 100-400 and an EOS 3 body and was wondering about the
load the lens mount can handle.

Are there any specifications to the weight and the length of the lens that
the mount can support in a vertical (hanging) as well as in a horisontal
orientation? I supppose hanging it from your shoulder is perfectly OK but
what about changing settings while holding the body with both hands and the
zoom extended to 400mm?

Thanks
Herman
