I use a Bogen/Manfrotto black, three-section monopod, I think the number
here is 3218. I usually have a Bogen/Manfrotto 3262 medium ball head on
it. I use it with the Sigma APO 400/5.6 Macro and the Pentax F* 300/4.5
exclusively. It's plenty strong to deal with those lenses, and could
double as a bludgeon if the local fauna get too nosy. However, it's
only a couple of pounds or so (I've never actually weighed it).
- I'm 190cm/6'3" tall
I'm only 5' 10" and this 'pod might be a little short for you. OTOH,
rarely do I fully extend both sections, so it might be OK.
- lots of the places I try to take pictures have a generally soft or
uneven substrate
Get one that has a foot spike, or can take one as an accessory. This
can also increase it's weapon potential. :-)
