I use it when I can park my car and set up my tripod, but for a moving environment, I just can't carry that much gear with me.

I am looking into a modified Segway that may significantly change things in the future, but for now, it is what it is.

And yes, the IQ and speed of that lens are totally amazing!
Sorry to read about your difficulties. Lenses in that range demand full attention, so trying the propel and deal with that weight and size would be a huge factor. I hope you can ultimately get the Segway type device and perhaps develop some attachments to carry gear. More power!

Looking forward to seeing some images.

Dave
