While this lens is not huge, it is heavy enough that I don't want to hand hold it for long. This Giottos monopod works great. Easy to set up, very stable, and the price is right. It easily handles the D800 with battery grip and the 200-500 lens.

Needed a sturdy mono for African travel. Fit the bill perfectly. Easy to use, sturdy clamps; holds camera and motor drive/battery pack with ease

I use it for video and photography,It adds stability to a small camcorders and allow you to use a camcorder 60" above your head. The supplied bag is too short for the monopod with the attached Manfrotto 234RC head.

I'll carry a 400mm 2.8 AF-I (HEAVY) with body for 5 & 6 hours at a time. It has not let me down yet.

Use of a monopod is highly recommended for photographers seeking value for moneyand versatility. Monopods are specially designed for photographers on the move, for all styles of photography such as fashion or sports.
With a monopod you can support heavy still and video cameras, make instant changes to angle and position in restricted spaces and capture that perfect moment first time. For use in mud or snow, the specially designed rubber foot accessory gives full support by spreading the load.
Made primarily from aluminum alloy, the all-metal construction of the MM 9000 Series gives a feeling of solidity and confidence. Its surfaces are carefully polished twice, so its sections lock firmly and can be released quickly.
Finally, the monopod is anodised to preserve the sheen of the original aluminum, or a pure black finish. The MM 9000 Series reflects the photographer's individuality; it catches the eye, and reflects its own special style.
