Hi Tom,
Mine had the original tripod mount installed.
You might try rigging one up were you a bit mechanically inclined, or maybe buying a
cheap long
telephoto off ebay (I had a couple and sold them for around 40$.) and rob the tripod
mount.
I suppose a very careful use of the camera's tripod mount would not hurt the camera or
the lens. Or
how about the old rice bag trick, where you use a bag for beans or rice as a pillow
type support for
the camera and lens?
Hope this helps?
