I do it almost every day.
I often add the 1.4x TC to hand hold 700mm. It's really the way to go. I only use the tripod these days when I stake out a nest or location for long minutes or even hours and can't hold the lens at-the-ready for long periods waiting on something to happen.
When I walk around or drive around, then lens is either in my right hand, or in the right seat where I can grab it in a second. This freedom from the tripod has opened up a lot more shots for me.
