Put a body plate on your Nikon Cam.

Then attach a ballhead (without the tripod) to the camera.. Loosen the ballhead knob. This acts as Steady Shot stabiliser.

Aiyo u should know better than to ask this kinda of question, for the same amount of money, less electronics is needed in the manual lense, thus the money is more spent on the casing and quality of the optics, thus heavier. For AF lenses, the same amount of money has to be divided to build the electronics, thus less money for the casing or the optics. Simple economics...and business la. :P :knock:
