The Tamron is 8 inches long with the hood on and is 9.5 inches long fully
extended. It does not have a tripod mount. I have used it on a shoulder pod
buy am very careful to not load the camera mount ring any more then
necessary when doing so. I usually use this lens on a bean bag or just hand
held. /jnm
