[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 352921, member: 16"] Like Kevin, I, too, use a ball head on my Manfrotto and Benro monopods. Much easier to rotate and track moving subjects, while adding a degree of camera and lens stabilization. Here's a life long tip for you to remember...if it moves: Shutter priority; if it's dead or still...Aperture priority. :) Of course, like anything in photography, this "rule of thumb" is constantly subject to change. :) But I swear by it. :) You're going to laugh, but for hockey games, I use an 18-105 "all purpose" lens. :) So....use what ya got....just adapt it to your situation. :) [/QUOTE]
