I sometimes use a monopod with the 500f4 andfind it works very well its lighter to carry than the 500 on a tripod and sometimes easier to use (eg in long grass).Have used it down to 1/125 sec with very good results.I use it straight(no ball head).

Thanks Graham for your reply.
I just though it might be a bit more lighter to carry about than a tripod,if you can get good results with it.
Cheers.
