I just mount the lens/camera directly onto the 'pod. When I went to buy my manfrotto monopod, I fully intended buying a head too. The man in the shop told me I didn't need one (pretty odd for a salesman!). It's true, I didn't need one. I'm primarily using it for dogsports and the lenses I use have rotating tripod mounts. The only time I would probably want to use a head is if I knew I wanted to shoot vertically and the lens I was using didn't have a mount (e.g. with the FA 300/4.5). For that I would use my 486RC2 which usually lives on my 055S I'd quite like one of the joystick ballheads or the grip action head though. Wendy
