[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 126139, member: 9240"] With my Sigma 150-500mm I'm usually handheld with the mounting ring off. If I'm on an early morning birding walk with people with spotting scopes then I will usually have it mounted to a monopod and slung over my shoulder, and I'll occasionally tripod mount it for shots of the moon or in certain conditions with wildlife. Let's say 90% handheld, 9% on a monopod and 1% on the tripod. That's a real sturdy setup you have there, but IMO it's absolute overkill on a monopod. On a tripod where you want it locked tight, then that's perfect. But for me it's too much on the monopod. [/QUOTE]
