None are available from Tamron. You might want to consider finding a local machine shop and they can custom craft one for you.

Was just wondering if any of you might have run across a tripod collar for a Tamron 70-300mm lens? They don't make one (I called and asked) and I'm sure there must be one out there somewhere that would work. :-) Thanks!

This company makes the parts to create one:

The challenge is that the 70-300 extends at the front, which is the part that you are looking to support. This is going to be hard to do. I would suggest that the drooping front barrel is a minor matter, and you will get good results regardless. I wouldn't worry about not having a collar.
