I recently went on a bird trip and didn't want to take a tripod with me. So I decided to use a monopod. Ball heads aren't exactly comfortable to use with a monopod, so I went looking for a head that would help me when shooting with a monopod and came across the Sirui pan head. I made sure it was exactly what I needed and placed the order immediately. I have never been disappointed in my purchase decision as it served my purpose very well. It was very easy to use and held exactly in the positions I had fixed. Not sure about big telephoto lenses, but I used a Tamron 150-600mm telephoto lens. Still, you need to make sure the tilt head is locked in place while recording as the head will just fall off in the tilted position and you should just hope you don't have fingers. in that area how hard it would be and pinch so hard. This is a pain that I unfortunately had to experience once in my use. It hurts a lot. Plus it was a pleasure to use and I highly recommend it.
