n a tripod on a trolley to push it around~~ or mount the lens on a jeep.. hehe..

 

[TMC]

forget the trolley, they will more likely mount it on a gitzo and slog around with it. mount on jeep might just get mistaken for a ATOW lol.

it must be difficult to focus/zoom, since the rings are much smaller compared to the
lens unit.
Can a DSLR battery power up the AF motor of such monster?

It's rumoured to have a CPU of some sort in it and zoom-by-wire of some sort. Definitely will have an inbuilt motor to drive the AF.

Wonder if it uses the camera's battery to move the focus mechanism.. Focus halfway battery flat!
