[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 433730, member: 24285"] It is becoming obvious that while my vintage Tammy 200-400 F5.6 can be hand held, it is a bit of a beast and it has a tripod mount for a reason. I have a tripod or three I can use, but was thinking I could pick up a mono-pod to use when I take this old long Tammy out for a walk. Looked at a few - cheap one's are available on eBay, this one comes with a pretty model for under $20 [url=http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Pinshe-1003-Lightweight-62-Camera-Monopod-Portable-For-Canon-Nikon-DSLR-E102-/251341665781?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a852175f5]Pinshe 1003 Lightweight 62" Camera Monopod Portable FOR Canon Nikon DSLR E102 | eBay[/url] [ATTACH=CONFIG]147743._xfImport[/ATTACH] Of course you can pay more, way more even on eBay Also took a look on Amazon.Ca - eg. the "Koolehaoda Professional Camera Aluminium Monopod Fluid Video Head with Folding Three Feet Support Stand, Max:58.2" which must be real Kool eh?
