Heavy lens on tripod
#2
I don't get what the problem is, assuming the head isn't slipping under the weight, and the tripod stays upright...



The only trick I can add for stability is to have one of the legs of the tripod under the lens for the most support in that direction. If the lens overhangs between two of the legs then you have a closer pivot point increasing risk of tipping over.
