    Black-necked Grebe??? Spain

    Yes I use the P1000 for exactly that. My walkaround camera would always be the Canon 90D with the 100-400ii lens.

    I need to clamp a Monopod!

    Not really the 349 only supports centre columns from 25-28mm diameter. Also I don’t really want to use a centre column because it’s not long enough to touch the floor so less stability. I need my monopod to touch the floor and be clamped at the top. Thanks for your reply.
