John Francis is the man with this big gun, but I think he went on holiday
for several weeks. I had the opportunity to try it out one time when some
Pugsters got together. I didn't try it on a monopod, as it was already
mounted and waiting on a tripod. But I do remember that he has used it on a
monopod. It looked pretty big on there. I would probably want one of the
sturdy bogens without a head, just screwed straight into the lens mount. It
is a sweet piece of glass. I was thinking that it is similar in size and
weight to the 600 f4, if any of those owners would care to comment on
monopod usage.
