1. Good tips

Thanks.

2. Good tips, but I still almost always use a tripod or a monopod with telephoto lenses

Lens stabilization is nice for times when you just can't use support, but I try to use it to the maximum extent possible. Even with the best technique you will still miss more shots and/or will be forced to shoot at a higher ISO than you might prefer.

3. #7 about the tripod collar is a little weird.

The rest is pretty good.

4. Or you could shoot with a 5 axis image stabilized camera.
