i think canon should devise something like a hot air balloon to hold these heavy white primes so the users can easily hold the lens and use them, you know, something to think about i always find it annoying carrying those heavy tripods around!

A balloon would catch the wind, but perhaps a heavy-lift drone, tethered to the lens, programmed to resist/counter-act the influence of the wind?

Not much easier (and a lot louder) than a tripod, so just an interim step until anti-gravity.
