There was a point when I had made a tripod mount for this lens. There is
enough room in front of the aperature ring and before the focus ring. The
problem is that part of this room is on a higher level. Therefore you need
to raise the section in the front to be even with the aperature ring. I used
a specially cut piece of hard rubber. One can jimmy it anyway they want but
as long the surfaces are even. From there I just placed the Olympus tripod
mount in place and it worked flawlessly for some time. There is an easier
way to steady this lens. Bogen makes a telephoto lens support that works
perfectly, try this URL from B&H:
