Mike: That's an interesting account. Read a couple of reviews which claimed that the 322rc2 was more sturdy and durable than the 3265, but didn't think it'd really fall to bits. I guess it could have been the impact of the still-connected load when the whole rig hit the ground? I'd imagine that's quite a beating for any gear to take.
Don't know the precise details. It was certainly on a monopod; I got the impression that it was the impact of the ball that killed the rig - it may have been knocked out of his hands and the real damage came with impact with the floor. I think that the ball impact would be greater. The camera was resurrected, the lens and head were toast.
I always use a neckstrap with a monopod....... m
