Could it be a gimbal?

It would be a gimbal. Very expensive but a great aid to stability with a 600mm f/4 lens or suchlike. Might ask Santa for one.

They are expensive but solid and often used with scopes in birdwatching. Lots of different models out there used locked onto a spot for long periods.
A hide near me had one for all to use on its own tripod, very old and weighed a ton,
Getting it there was a feat in itself Smile
