Canon 400mm 2.8 IS II tripod vs mono-pod mount question.
The brand new lens is at Canon in Virginia getting a firmwear upgrade -- so the only rush is if I want them to do the switching. Sounds like with a hex-wrench and some LocTite there is no reason I couldn\'t make the switch myself, or use the Really Right Stuff mount. Having a hand-hold on the bigger Canon mount is what I am comfortable with -- like on my ancient 200mm 1.8 and 300mm.
Looking at RRS now; the LCF-53: Foot for 400/500/600mm IS-II. Is the ease of attachment the primary benefit, or do you fell the RRS set-up is more stable?
