Long lenses, like the Zuiko 1000mm, that have a single tripod mounting point
are hard to stabilize. It takes a two-point mount to really hold them still.
Manfrotto makes a device to do this and I'm sure there are others. Manfrotto
Part 359 or Bogen Part 3252 is called a Long Lens Support and is available
from B&H Photo for $54.95. Another approach is to lay long lenses over
multiple sand bags. /jmac

I found my 800/11 cat lens was very sensitve to vibration. My
impression was that some of the longer lenses such as the Zuiko 600
and Tamron 400 + 1.4x TC were often easier to keep from vibrating.
However my tripod couldn't keep the 1000/11 Zuiko stable. Both very
short and very long can be challenging. It is going to depend greatly
upon the tripod you're using.
I can't hand hold anything longer than 300 so my impressions there
won't be of any help.
