In the summer months much of my photography activities include biking and/or hiking. Carrying my tripod along on these trips would be too much of a burden for an old guy like me. That said, shooting a hand-held d850/d500 mounted with a Tamron 150-600 is quite a challenge at times as well. Particularly, shooting still subjects. Wth the zoom set 400mm or greater, I have an awful time keeping the subject centered. The lens is bouncing up and down or swinging left to right and I have a hard time keeping it steady.
Today I tried a monopod (part of a cheap K&F Tripod) and found it helped me next to nothing. The only thing good I could say about it was it weighted very little.
For those of you who use a monopod I have a few questions I wish to ask:
1. Size of lens(es) you use on the Monopod
2. Gimbal or not?
3. Make and Model?
Alternatively, I find a way to pack my heavy tripod and also heavy gimbal on my treks.
Hope to hear some other and better options.
