Does anybody use RRS monopod heads or monopods for the telephoto gear? I currently use a different brand of each and like having multiple plates on my telephotos to make switching lenses on and off of my monopod more quick and efficient.

I have the RRS monopod head. It's strong and secure. The fine adjustment of the tilting tension leaves a little to be desired. You do learn to work with it though it's fine for me. I use a Nikon 810 with a 500 F4 on it at the most and I've had no problems.

I use the Kirk Enterpirses MPA-1 Monopod Head which was just recently replaced by the MPA-2 Monopod Head

The RRS tripod thread needed to be cut down by my Machine Shop so that the Krik MPA-! could be threaded tightly to the RRS monopod.

I use the RRS monopod head on an RRS monopod, to support a Canon 500 f/4 with 1D series bodies attached. Works fine. But at least for me, the critical feature is to have the quick release clamp, so I can drop the monopod in a hurry if birds fly high and I need to go hand-held in a hurry.
