[QUOTE="Weso, post: 502541, member: 39089"] Been looking for a really solid, rugged and no thrills monopod for sports, mainly soccer and motorsports. Currently for a D300 with grip and AFS 70 - 300 but might purchase a 70/80 - 200 F2.8 at some point. Not worried about light weight, I can often work from my car boot at my local circuit and travel light most of the time. I am quite tall though (6Ft 2") and would like something rugged enough to sling the whole lot over my shoulder if feasible. Mud, rain and dirt likely from time to time. In my part of the UK not many camera shops about and none that can offer anything approaching a choice? All advertising seems to focus on lightness and added features like mini legs and stuff I don't (think?) I want Prepared to pay for something quality if required... Also no experience of tripods or monopods, what sort of head would I require if at all? Thanks in advance~ [/QUOTE]
