Hi. I have just bought a Sigma 50-500mm 1:4-6.3 APO lens this along with my Canon EOS 400D camera is quite heavy and would like advise on any suitable monopods for this setup total weight approx 3kg.

Have you had a chance to examine any of the Monopods from Monostat:

I use one with a Leica 12x50 BA

Happy bird watching,

The Manfrotto range should have something to suit & you can usually find a decent SH one for reasonable cash

Hi,
I had to get a new Monopod when i got my Bigma and the best i found was Giottos MM9150 it will hold upto 15kg, all the others i tried started to slide down with the weight but the Giottos didn't budge one inch! pretty cheap too!
Cheers
Brian

have a look at the Manfrotto 679B - good solid beast will hold up to 10kg all for just ~£32
