Only use the monopod with the 70-200 f2.8 and 1.7 as my ability to keep the 300 rig steady is suspect due to old age ( the 70-200 +1.7 is fast at f4 but the same set up with the 300 is f6.7 and need at least 1/500 to get a clean sharp shot).

Since I bought the Magfibre tripod, I find even with the 501 head I have no difficulty carrying it around and as you know the 501 has a very convenient handle that rests over the shoulder for easy lugging

Brian.
