The matching set of lenses have been on ebay fairly recently

You should submit that last one to one of the steam railway mags. I am sure they would publish it.

I hope you are young and fit Matt. That is a BIG heavy lens for backpacking.

Try it with the tripod unextended to see if it still happens, just to check if there is some play in one of the leg joints or if the head is responsible.

You could try a longer QR plate so that you can adjust the balance point. Of course with the 150 - 500 the balance point changes dependant on the focal length chosen.

oops! overlapped with Algi's post

The range of camera bags is far too big for any high street retailer to stock more than a limited selection. Even Morris, who rightly boast that they stock more than 150 bags, carry only a fraction of what is available. The required return per shelf foot just isn't there. Online shopping has made possible the proliferation of choice that we now have. Whether we need so much choice or it just makes things more confusing is another question of course...

The AF 360 gets a swivel head at last.

I just got back from a holiday in northern Italy. There were 3 DSLR users in our group - 2 Pentax and 1 Sony. The only Canon user I spotted had a rather nice new mirrorless APSC jobbie.

I'm not surprised that 'Rhein II' - the photo in the second link - is so valuable TBH. When I visited Tate Modern for the first time it was the only thing in the place that pulled me back for a second and third look (other than the cafe on the top floor of course). A fascinating image, particularly when viewed full (massive) size.

I have not come across this brand but the monopod looks to be a decent design with Gitzo style twist locks. As you say, not as much to go wrong with a monopod compared to a tripod. I find a ballhead on a monopod a bit awkward to use though - you may be better off with a simple Manfrotto 234RC monopod head http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Manfrotto-234RC-Monopod-Tilt-Head-with-Quick-Release-P... (or you can get Chinese copies of these for about half the price)
