Ditto here. But to add a bit more...I found a ballhead works well w/small
lenses but for larger, it seemed to want to flop around too much. With the
300mm and larger you have tripod mounts on the lens itself, thus eliminating
the need to adjust vertical on the monopod itself. All you need is up and
down movement. Thus, the Manfrotto 3232 (or it's quick release cousin) works
best in this application (and at half the price ;)).
enjoy,
Brad
