I'm currently using a 1DX and would like to have a lighter APS body for telephoto lenses. I feel hesitant about the M6 because it is said to have a polycarbonate body. I'm wondering if I could use it confidently with an EF 300mm F/2.8 lens (plus adapter). I understand that I should always support the lens with such a setup. But I think one accustomed to bigger cameras may still accidentally raise the combination by only holding the camera, since the 300mm is very handholdable. Any comments and suggestions from users of other EOSM cameras are also welcomed. Thanks!

the build quality is "solid", I've never accidentally picked up the 100-400 on the M or M5 without holding the lens.  everything feels tight and nothing should fall apart
