Pauli’s,
Jew a newbie so I’m curious. Wouldn’t mounting the camera + lens in such a verticals position (with lens mount attached to tripod) be the same as carrying your camera by the lens? I thought this was a no-no.
I'm not sure if I understand your question.
That's what big lenses have a tripod collar for. You will break something if you put the body on a tripod and then attach heavy lens to it.
