[QUOTE="Kevin Fulton Ann Arbor, post: 756589, member: 48286"] I recently bought a gimbal head to use with my Sigma 150-600 C telephoto lens attached to a D5300 which I plan to use mainly on a monopod. Although I've seen photographers carrying their cameras/tripods slung over their shoulders when moving to a different shooting location to get a better angle, it seems that carrying a combination with a gimbal over the shoulder might be impracticable – if not hazardous to the equipment. 1. What is the best way to carry such a setup (monopod/tripod, camera and lens)? Should I cradle the heavy part in my arm, much like carrying a long gun? 2. When changing locations (1-2 miles on smooth/paved road with little traffic) is it advisable to dismantle the combination, or can it be transported safely if secured in the rear seat of a vehicle? 3. Regarding storage: can the gimbal remain attached to the monopod when not in use? My concern has to do with reducing the stresses caused by removing/attaching the equipment. All suggestions welcome! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
