I don't know what that means, I know that amateurs can edit and fake clips as well as CNN can, but I follow a lot of credible sources on utube. One of my riding buddies, who does something with computers for Boeing I think, has a couple of channels for his hobbies, he customizes wrist watches, writes his own music so once in a while he gets on his piano or other instruments. Anyway very credible, here's another credible guy, they do all their own photography also. https://youtu.be/caXEIfbMFx4
I guarantee you that everyone who watches this will enjoy, I live here and still like them. He started with riding videos then got a drone. Don't be so close minded, enjoy.

Most mounts are designed to support the weight of the camera. In usual circumstances the lens is supported by the mount. When big lenses are the subject the camera now attaches to the lens and is carried as such. When the lens moves the camera goes with it. Thus, the mount now supports the camera's weight. There are brackets on the market that support a lens and body together, Manfrotto is one name. That bracket then mounts on something, tripod, etc.
I do not disagree with you. The Mount is designed to support the weight of the lens.
The issue for me is the front weight of a long lens mounted on a small mirrorless camera.
It is not a complaint, it is just an issue in dynamics for me. I like and use a heavy camera with my long lenses. It seem to have more BALANCE using my D850 with the vertical grip attached with my new Nikon 500 5.6 and my Nikon 200-500 5.6.
Again, not a knock on mirrorless camera's(like them, use them) But for me, my LONGS will continue to be used Hand Held on large bodies.
