Hello again,

for those of you who have been on a safari in East Africa, would you recommend a bean bag for a MFT camera (and PL 100-400)? If so, which one would you recommend (with weight being an issue, even if it would be empty on the way to)?

Thank you in advance for all your valuable help.

I only shoot UK wildlife - and the light is normally quite poor - but having used the PL100-400 for 2 years now, no longer even use a monopod, but a cheap lightweight monopod can be of benefit if you can't rest or brace yourself against something. I am not sure how a bean bag would be of help.

How do you anticipate using the bean bag?
