I've seen a trolley from Tamrac (?) with a pretty stable holder for a tripod head. Like that here, but it's 3 years old and I don't find them on Tamrac's site
When I had to carry this big 150-600 Sports, I did it mostly in a ThinkTank GlassLimo. It takes the lens with attached hood and FF body with grip. Like dave says, it's good to carry - I was just very often too lazy to get the lens out and in some situations it was difficult to hold myself and manœuvre the backpack, not to mention fiddle the lens out. :blink:
So, a trolley has it's advantages. Especially because it stands for itself - if you don't want it to park downhill.
As for the stones: Depending at their size, you could carry the trolley, if it's only short distances over stones. But if there's only stones or sand and not much way, I would opt for backpack.
