Had a trip to Colchester yesterday as really wanted to see their tiger cubs before they got much bigger. Was also my first time out experimenting with my new Sigma 150-600mm C and a monopod. I can hand hold the lens but it is a bit heavy for that really and I wanted to try out the monopod for stabilty. I'd fashioned myself a belt that I can clip the whole set up to take some of the weight off my shoulders and hold it securely. I also planned to use the monopod at its smallest setting supported by the belt at my waist. I have to say - it worked a treat. Vastly more keepers than my recent hand held trip round Chester and I alternated clipping the whole shebang to my belt or just carrying it by the monopod with the camera over my shoulder and lens resting on top of my bag. Honestly - I find the whole set up more comfortable than hanging my camera / 70-300mm lens off my shoulder and it did wonders for my usual neck pain. Anyway... C&C welcome as always:
