There is the option of reducing sensor size which allows very long focal length equivalents but at the cost of reduced image quality - I have Nikon P1000 which has a 24-3000 zoom in a package which is fairly large but still pretty portable.

Is the image quality as good as my full sized Nikon gear - definitely not. Can I take more pictures that I couldn't even attempt before (wildlife and landscapes) - definitely.

There's this Polish guy that climbs buildings, and he uses the P1000 from time to time, for very dramatic zoom effect. Like in this video https://youtu.be/1fP4UArArNg?t=104 Well, this specific video was on April fools, and him standing on top of the mast was masked in (faked), but that background footage of the zoom out was from P1000 camera.
