Yep, the 600/4 and Wimberley works great. Did you get a
quick release for the Wimberley? A QR is a nice touch
since it allows moving the lens back and forth to
maintain perfect balance when adding or removing a TC
to the combo.
I also use my Wimberley as a car window mount. I put it

The F* ED(IF) 300mm f/4.5 tripod mount fits into a ring with detents
on the lens body, so you can turn the camera on its side without
flipping the tripod mount out of its normal position.
Is the lens under discussion engineered in the same way?
Just a thought, but has anyone tried using quality telecope tripods with
these long lenses? These tripods are designed to render star images as sharp
points of light. Quality telescope tripods might cost more but they'd give
rock steady support. (If we have any astrophotographers on
directly to the body (no leg foot and it's fused at a fairly wide spot,
so I would want to make sure it fits. I don;t know about the 600 f4, but
doubt it would have that problem.

You're on the right track. I have used the 268
Thanks to everyone who responded. The Wimberly does appear to be the best one
suited for large lenses probably what I will get. BTW John I already have the
Pentax A 1.4XL 2XL convertors, I use them on my A* 300/2.8

I use a Wimberley head, Kirk Arca-style QR, and Bogen
3021 tripod. If I had a bucketful of money laying
around, I'd get a Gitzo carbon-fiber tripod without a
center column
