More importantly, what kind of lenses do they use? The really big glass
you see on monopods at sporting events is Canon with image
stabilization. You might get away with shooting off a monopod with the
600 at shutter speeds of 1000 or more, but it will be tricky. I've done
some of that with a 400/5.6 and A2X-S converter. The hit ratio isn't
great, but it's fun and some good shots are possible. I don't think the
brand of monopod matters a great deal, because it's basically just
helping you steady a hand held shot.

What sort of head do sports photographers use when they put their
600/4s on a monopod and run up and down the sidelines? In addition to
a good tripod, I'd like to have the option to use Big Bertha on a
monopod.
Thanks,
