|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Anyone Using a Bogen 680b for Long Glass? Nic Coury, Photographer Monterey | CA | | Posted: 4:17 PM on 05.08.09 ->> I've just become an NPS member and rented a 600 f/4 for an upcoming surfing comp in town. I figured a good monopod would be a good investment for the future and I was checking out the Bogen 680b. Thanks for any insight. ~ nic  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I've never used anything bigger than a 300 2.8 on mine, but it works fine. Very good quality for the price.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

When using mine with big glass the legs routinely start to creep and need to be snugged up. All in all a great tool and value.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

A nut driver or standard socket is too thick to fit  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Just loosens a bit every now and then.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
