I'm finding hugely conflicting information whilst trying to research this.
I'm going to be using a Nikon D750 with a 300mm f2.8 AF-S II. I'll mostly be shooting motorsports and for longer days out I could probably do with a monopod rather than handholding.
I'm finding that some people are just using a QR clamp connected directly to the monopod, others using ball heads, others using tilt heads, others using Wimberley Sidekicks etc.
I currently have this ball head: http://www.redsnapperuk.com/camera-accessories/RSH-12_Ball_head.html - Would this be sufficient when put on a monopod for my uses?
I'm also 6'1", most monopods seem to only be around 150cm?! Seems to be about 4ft 11, surely that's not right?
Any help is greatly appreciated guys, thanks!
