I have a [Nikon 80-200 f/2.8 push-pull][1] and I wonder how to use it on a tripod. There is no collar.

What is the best solution to attach it to a tripod ("best" is rather vague, it should take into account the easiness to find the required materials for the most part as well as how bulky the solution is. Price is rather secondary in my case)? Are there any universal collars or would it be ok to only attach the camera body?

To be more precise, I am not looking for a head/tripod recommendation, I am looking for a way to link {camera + lens} to {tripod + head}.
