Probably not a good idea. The result would most likely not be good, and you'll risk damaging the camera with the extra weight.

I agree, not worth the chance of damaging the lens. People complain that Canon doesn't put filter threads on their cameras with motorized lenses. That's why. They don't want you to put accessories on the lens.

Exactly...!!

The lens deploy-stow motor certainly is the weak point in the PowerShot line, and I recommend against attaching any non-Canon accessories to that lens...!!!

The price tells you what the seller thinks of the quality of that lens. Note also, that although it is sold from the United States, they won't deliver it here.
