What focal length please and is this hand held?

Handheld while kneeling, 200 to 400mm. So far my conclusion is that enabling OIS only makes sense if you want to keep the scene static, as it will fight against any panning you attempt, resulting in jerky motion (also seen in one of the clips, despite the panning being slow)

I'll do a more methodical comparison one day, but probably no sooner than next weekend.
