Yeah, the control ring could be better placed.

I use the RF 100-500 with the collar on and cradle the lens with tripod foot resting on my left palm. When I need to turn the control ring I shift my left hand such that the tripod foot rests on my fingers instead and then move my thumb towards the control ring. I find I can easily turn the control ring with just my thumb. This way, I can continue shooting with the secondary method of cradling the lens.

I would like to know of better ways too.

Thanks ramondp

I will try that ... it sounds doable
