Sometimes I tend to obsess over stuff like this;) But I love the way the stock works with my Telyt so much I'm just trying to figure out how to use it with the 200. With the stock you have a much more stable tripod-like support involving the monopod and your two legs. It's just a LOT easier to hold the whole thing steady than with the monopod alone.
