:lol: It's not THAT big! I have one. Very useful for clubbing spectators out of the way when you want to get to the best position for a shot :twisted:

You know how some guys exaggerate about size :lol: :lol: :lol:

Bless the recently fallen and their family and friends.
I have a Cannon with me at all times. You can't take the shot if you don't have something with which to shoot. :rolleyes:

Well my 680B is too small...:(

Are there any exercises I can do to combat this short coming? Or does it really come down to how I use it?

Yeah mine feels good in the hand but I'm told that people my height should have bigger ones :lol:

Seriously though, at 6'2 I've gotta find a can or something to stand it on when Im out at events. Really have to sell it for something taller.

well...I'm lucky if I'm 5ft 5 tall so it's the perfect height for me!

it's just so chunky, I think I'm going to call it a Monocolumn from now on!
