Actually when you are going birding there is no better combo (IMHO).
The whole unit on a tripod makes for a very easily portable, if heavy, rig. If you take it apart to make it easier to carry it actually become unwieldy. Slung over the shoulder with the lens down your back and holding the tripod legs it seems no different to carrying the D3S with a 300mm lens! Doesnt seem logical but is a reality.
Or you could just carry it in a long holster and leave your hands free for the bins.
D500 + 1.4 tc + 500mm (with lens hood in place)
