No need for anything custom here Stan. Manfrotto has already made it for you
and it is relatively inexpensive. I don't know the exact item number but take
a look on BH and I'm sure you will find it...

Actually Vic, I was referring to the FA 300/4.5.
I had meant that a a side msg to Ken, not to the list. It would have made
more sense if I had copied the original msg, and it would have made even
more sense if I had sent it just to Ken as I intended. I hit the wrong

Thanks Vic.
Yes Stan it does have a Rubber brace that the front of the lens sits on. You
can kind of see it in the picutre. The strap just keeps it nice and tight to
prevent it from moving. The whole unit can be put on a quick release plate and
snapped on and off your tripod quickly. The beauty of it is it
for several years and it is one of my
favorites and most used. I have no complaints with it but the lack of
balance does seem wrong.

They're not necessarily silly, Shel.

Spaces aren't legal in a URL. They need to be replaced with %20 for
most browsers, though Internet Exploder might work with them.

off the 2X extender, just floating around in the breeze. For some shots
