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?

It would be used against the window of the jeep or other post or support on the jeep.

You can always use a jacket or a towel in a pinch. Even some laundry in a pillow case will do. My point is there is little need to pack something extra
