B&H Photo has Nikon 509mm 1.8 G prime lens on sale, I think, for the 4th of July, for under $200. Fast and sharp lens. Good luck.

Steve Perry has a YouTube video: Swapping Heads the Fast Way. It shows a clamp and plate from Really Right Stuff. Clamp: RRS B-2-LR-II Lever-Release Clamp (60mm)
Plate: RRS TH-DVTL-40 Round Dovetail Plate
He suggests possibly using blue Lok-Tite on the screws for security. The video is about 5 minutes.
I don't have a Tap-in console for this lens and my local camera store (where I bought it) doesn't either. I think that there's a firmware update for it; although I'm uncertain after visiting the Tamron website. I also can't find where a Tamron service center may be, with contact info and shipping info-if I have to send it to them. I'm in NE Ohio.
Sirui L-10 monopod head. B&H Photo $100 +/- a few $. Well-designed and functions well.
I went Christmas, birthday, anniversary, and just because online shopping at B&H Photo last month. I'm now awaiting my account statement with that upcoming type of Gas Attack.
Now I need to take New and old equipment/toys out to play with Mother Nature.
Why not enjoy it?
Old, retired, and cursed-or blessed with a great, but expensive hobby.
Nikon has a 10-20 mm wide-angle for around $300. I've heard good things about it and I've had good luck with it.
Not certain how these lenses will operate on a D800.
1. Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM Lens for Nikon F $649 at B&H
2. Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR Lens $277 at B&H
I've got the Nikon 10-20mm that I've used on my D7200. It works well for me.
Good luck hunting.
Thanks B&H for your service during the COV 19 situation. I've placed two orders so far this month (May). One for one small item, arrived in 3-5 days-to Akron, OH. The other, for three items (that I'll spend much creative energy explaining why I had to have them), is scheduled to arrive on 5/28. I am confident that the package will be here as promised.
Your organization has consistently been dependable and straight forward.
I hope that your reopening and call back of staff goes smoothly, safely, and successfully.
Thanks again,
Frank H
I'm fifteen minutes from CVNP, consider myself to be enthusiastic about becoming a Better photographer, and am retired-so time isn't supposed to be an issue; and yet I've never found such great subjects as you've shared. Thanks for them!
Hueys in Quang Tri and Doug Ha, 3rd Mar Division, 3rd Tanks, 1970.
Great pictures!
Thanks for sharing them.
Really makes me want to go back.
Been there also.
Thanks for sharing your photos.
I hope that you had as enjoyable time there as we did.
