It's a compromise, as are many things in life. Poorer pictures but less strain on the lens mount if you use the lens collar. Better pictures but more strain if you don't. A monopod for the camera? I have used this when I had only a Benbo trekker to support a 300/2.8 - I used the Benbo monopod on the camera to "triangulate" the mounting. Did the job for me but I was dealing with a static situation. mike
