I bought her a mono pod , it is like a walking stick with a camera screw on top. Her new camera Coolpix P900 has incredible zoom on it but you need a tripod or mono pod to hold it steady with the zoom all the way out. Sure did help.

Great shot.

I have a collapsible mono pod strapped to my camera bag. I use it a lot for long zoom shots or outdoor sports shots. Stabilization will only take you so far. Your wife's cameras zoom is so good it needs more stabilization.

Monopods are great. In addition to assist in outdoor photography I have used mine in museums and aquariums where tripods are prohibited but monopods are allowed.

Makes a pretty good walking stick to if you're in a pinch.

Those shots are pretty amazing. Does she let you use it much? I bet you can get some pretty nice shots of wildlife with it. The specs look pretty good, with a relatively fast lens for that much magnification.
