Heavy lens on D750

[Herbc]

I am trying out a Nikon D750 with one of my many Nikon mount lenses, a 135 De Focus.  It seems pretty heavy to hang off the front of the camera, but there does not seem to be anywhere I can put a ring/foot device over it without getting in the way of the focusing etc.
Is there a V shape support for such?  The last thing I want to do is weaken the lens mount on the camera.

135/2 D weight is less than 28-70/2.8 and I did not see people worrying about that zoom

Not worry for reasons of long term wear/damage to the body mount, but there is also the issue of vibration on a tripod. With the center of gravity quite a bit off-axis, it could help to re-position camera plus lens.

RRS has a solution for longer lenses, which might also help in this case.

I did look on B&H, they have some stuff which requires a fairly elaborate setup, with an extra set of rods that is mounted on the tripod head, and then several suppliers have v type supports.

I will give it a go on a tripod and see what transpires.
