Ps.

As far as the weight goes. My original 600mm F4 will be on it's own dedicated tripod.

I do need to park as close to the wildlife (open now) blinds as I can get. I'm 84 so need short walks. with the BEAST.

My Manfrotto 243 Car Window Pod won't cut it for the BEAST.

I plan on getting a heavy duty window mount for the car.

I plan on taking a lot of picture on the 4 1/2 mile auto tour.

"Between October 1 and April 30, all visitors on the Auto Tour Route must remain in their vehicles."

I'm fine until October as I can leave the car and setup a tripod on turnouts along the tour.
