From: Amazon Posted: Aug 15, 2008 Type: User Review Expensive, but worth it

I got this monopod to use with my 500 f/4 and it has no problem supporting that weight. I had been using it with an RSS clamp, recently got the RSS high capacity monopod head which makes for a really solid combination. Though most of the time I...

Strong yet very light. Very easy to adjust. Once adjusted, locks in tightly with no slippage. Bought a Markins Q3 ballhead to go with it. The combination is remarkable. Used it in buildings, standing and sitting, as well as on rocky terrain and...

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 03, 2007 Type: User Review Comparison between Gitzo 6X 5 Series & 3 Series monopods.

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 10, 2007 Type: User Review Gitzo Monopod

The Gitzo GM5540 is very light and pleasure to use. I use it with an Acratech GV2 ballhead. I have a Canon 30D with a Canon EOS 30 lens plate to fit the camera to the ballhead. My lens' are a Canon EF 24-105 and a Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8 (quite a...
