Just bought myself a Manfrotto 680B monopod and a 322RC2 grip-style ballhead, based on reading some other users' experiences on the net. I'll probably end up occasionally switching the head between my Velbon Mountain Chaser tripod legs and the monopod- I don't think I'll switch between them so often that it'll become tedious.
Was just wondering if any listers use/have used this head on their monopod (or with the older 3265 even) and would like to share experiences. Do you prefer to keep the grip horizontal or vertical? Also, the lens I'm going to use is going to be mounted via tripod collar- are Manfrotto plates the only compatible plates? They come across as being a bit small. I've looked at RRS lens collar plates and they look pretty good, but I couldn't find anything similar to mate with a Manfrotto clamp. TIA for any input, Ryan
