I purchased a BLUBB (Big Lens Ultimate Bean Bag) f/ Arthur Morris and it is great! I'm very pleased with it's stablility and it's very well made. I use mine with a 100-400. It was about 100.00 bucks (overpriced), but I hate sewing and I believe it was definitely worth the money.

The Molar Bean Bag is what I use, relatively inexpensive, very well made, and designed by a photographer.

You can view their website at http://www.vertexphoto.com/PhotoTools.aspx.

I've been using it for a while, and I really like it.

I also like the Molar beanbag : http://www.vertexphoto.com/PhotoTools.aspx.
Use the buckwheat hulls or it can be very heavy, though.

I made one like this, its a bit of work but it's great and doesn't cost a lot of money.
