I use a Bogen/Manfrotto black, three-section monopod, I think the
number here is 3218. I usually have a Bogen/Manfrotto 3262 medium
ball head on it. I use it with the Sigma APO 400/5.6 Macro and the
Pentax F* 300/4.5 exclusively. It's plenty strong to deal with those
lenses, and could double as a bludgeon if the local fauna get too
nosy. However, it's only a couple of pounds or so (I've never
actually weighed it).
Thanks!
I am really hoping to avoid any occasions for fauna-bludgeoning; that
leads to paperwork and contusions. I'm also not sure the model listed
is still available, though it might be that my google-fu is weak.
Sometimes the fauna doesn't give you any choice. :-)
It's listed on the B&H web site as the 3216 (#679B) for for about US$ 48
by itself, or about US$ 64 *with* a "#234 Swivel Tilt Head". My memory
was that the 3216 was silver and the 3218 was black, but apparently I'm
mistaken, or they changed it in the last seven or eight years.
There is a spiked foot for it, #236 Surveyors Spiked Foot (for 679, 680,
and 681 series monopods) for about US$ 15.
