Fireworks is one thing that bugs me about modern tele zooms.
Many do NOT have a tripod foot on them.
So depending on your distance from the fireworks, you could end up with a long lens, like a 70-300 on your camera, and you are supporting it from the camera. NOT a good setup for stability or stress on the tripod socket.
Can your tripod even support a front-heavy setup, without it sagging. I would not even try the Canon 70-300 on a T7i. That would be way too front heavy for me.
I have an old Nikon 75-300 that I keep for that one reason. It has a tripod foot.
The later 70-300 zooms do not have a tripod foot, and would have to be camera mounted on the tripod.
