I actually have a wonderful fluid-head tripod I use for video work that's more than capable but it weighs a ton and it's mounting is a bit awkward. I have a ball head but it is sized for use with the M8 and the 1Ds without a long lens. Thoughts? Recommendations? Thank you! Note: A shoulder stock is out of the question. I lost a lot of mobility/strength in my shoulder when it was shattered in our car accident a few years ago. It works but isn't strong enough to steady a heavy lens.
