It's not the weight, I find it better to actually hand hold the lens. And if the lens is non hold able I would prefer it to be on a winberly head on a tripod. I find the heavy weight ungainly to manage on a monopod. I do primarily birds in flight, I cannot pan well with a monopod, works better on the winberly.
Tell that to the sideline sports photogs !.....
