Guys,

does anyone know whether, for tripod mounting, the type of connector/attachment shown in the pic is ok to use. I think these are called the RC2 Rapid Connect System.

The thing is, I already have one of these for my binocs, mounted on a fairly solid tripod. Is it ok to mount my camera using this method? I see others using the special mounting collars, which I distribute the weight more centrally and therefore may balance more easily, and shake less.

But other than that, will the 400D stand having a fairly heavy lens mounted unsupported? It won;t damage it or anything?

Cheers,
Paul
