I think a gimbal head is almost a necessity for a lens of that size.
Ken has researched this quite thoroughly, and I'm sure he'll weigh in
on it.

Hi;
I am wondering what the big lens owners are using to support their
large sized glass?
I am interested in the advantages and disadvantages of the various
heads out there capable of supporting a super telephoto in the 3.3
kilogram range.
I use the Bogen 3421 head:

It allows for easy tracking of a moving subject and works well. It's
quite a bit cheaper than the Wimberleys.
Ken Waller had some type of gimbal head at GFM that he was looking to
sell. You might want to contact him.
