[QUOTE="Fred Kingston, post: 756753, member: 10742"] I tried the monopod with my gimbal head, and 200-500mm and D810... It sounds nice, but if you're moving around a lot, it becomes tedious. You have to hold on the the thing continuously... unlike the tripod, the mono isn't gonna stand up by itself... Finding a spot to "lean" it against to give you a minute or two of hands free isn't easy with 30+ pounds on the end... I went back to my tripod pretty quickly. When I move... I just tighten everything down, fold the legs in, and let it seek its own balance on my shoulder. I have a Manfrotto 055 tripod which is in the very beefy category, and a beefy carbon fiber gimbal... I wouldn't suggest throwing it over your shoulder with a medium or light weight system... [/QUOTE]
