Due to the weight of this type of lens a shoulder support helps support the weight and steady the camera.
I use a Novoflex BasicBall blue with a cheap 75mm high B&S that is strong enough to let me also use it with the Sigma 150-500mm as a conventional tripod. As a chest/shoulder support I rest two legs on my shoulders and the 3rd on my chest. Sometimes I unscrew the leg that I rest on my chest and use just the two on the shoulders.

Very strong holds 25 kg = 55 lbs
You could also use it with a monopod and rest the two small legs against your chest.
Extension legs also available.

When did I last moan about a Pentax lens/camera being too heavy..... too light .... too expensive or say I needed FF or mirorless and then when it appears complain that it's too heavy..... too light .... too expensive or that I can't get the SD Card/battery out because the door is too small. Or that Video mode is poor or that Pentax focussing is slow compared to a Leyland Bus
Time you knew how to quote a post properly stu

That should take about 90% of the traffic away from Recent Posts

If you don't want to see them don't read Recent Posts although I have noticed that you like to add unnecessary comments to the Classifieds which is strange considering you don't like seeing them
I don't like seeing adverts in AP and other mags

Would it be possible to see the comparison with the 300 with and without the adapter?
I could use the case off this so if anyone wants it without the case I'll knock £10 off.

I already use a Seculine high power remote on the K-5. For the KP I expect the Canon receiver would work, but the camera would have to have the waterproof cover open.
Good for 50M. All the transmitters are the same. Mine's for a Nikon.
