Bogen has two solutions: One is a rectangular frame that appears to compete with the Wimberly - people don't say kind things about it, and it would probably be overkill for the situation you describe. Bogen also makes a long lens "stabilizer" that is comprised of a gizmo that looks a little like a focusing rail - with the far end having a strap arrangement to secure the front of a lens. It's adjustable - one size fits all. I've been toying with the idea of buying this latter item, thinking it might help when I use my 70-300 zoom at 300, especially in "macro". Any camera store that sells Bogen, and a lot do, should have the current catalogue. Flip to the back and you'll find it. I don't have one handy or I'd give you a part number. -Lon - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
