Is support needed for 1.6 teleconverter on teh HPX170

[Nic]

I've just recently bought a Century Optics 1.6 teleconverter and I cant help wondering if the 170 can handle that weight without support. Please someone put my mind at rest or tell me what support it needs.

I hope this is not a question that has been answered elsewhere. I have searched quite extensively and only found a post saying the 2 x converter needs support.

Oh well, must have been a pretty dumb question.

I had the 1.6 on my HVX200, never felt it needed support. Can't see why it would on the HPX170.

The 2.0 is a huge lens.

Thanks Barry, that puts my mind at rest. I appreciate the reply.
