I'll bet you won't get past customs in some countries for what that thing could look like! What a beast.

That isnt practical at all! Like seriously its a savage beast but why pay that for it??? HOW could you use??? As they said themselves, they couldnt find a suitable tripod! and this is a camera lens brand!

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .
