Fantastic shooting, and sight.

I discovered that these guys hang out around the compost bin so, rather than shoot from the porch & crop, I actually went out back with the Sigma 500/4.5 on a monopod.

Do you mean the tripod collar?

I found the collars for the 300/4, 300/6.3 TeleTak and 200/3.5 preset are all different sizes.

Someone else in another thread described a way of making a tripod collar using hardware sourced parts and materials.

As I recall, the method had something to do with those metal clamps used for clamping soft hoses/tubes to rigid fittings, such as on the back of washing machines. And there was some soft stuff, like neoprene to grip and avoid damage tot he lens and something that gave the connection to the tripod plate.
