I have found that with longer lenses a shoulder stock combined with a monopod make a decent camera support for lenses as large as the 280 f/4 APO and 400mm f/6.8. I've run a few tests of the slow-shutter capability nd I've found that 1/15 sec is viable with the 280 and this setup when I'm leaning against something solid.
