Q: 3. Could this work on a monopod? Will it work alright with lighter lenses as well as heavier ones (is there a minimum weight requirement?)?

A: Benro GH2 Aluminum Gimbal Head does work on a monopod with a 3/8" screw. If you don't keep the monopod exactly straight the center of balance will change so the lens will move. That might not be a problem for you if you are holding the camera and panning and tilting but the benefit of having a gimbal will be diminished. Another issue is that it is very large and heavy. It weighs 3 lbs and is 9.5 inches tall so can be hard to hold on a monopod by some. It does not have minimum weight requirement. For a monopod I would recommend this gimbal: Wimberley MH-100 MonoGimbal Head for Monopods https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1513932-REG/wimberley_mh_100_monogimbal_head.html

A: You attach the plate (PL100) to the lens foot.

Q: 7. Can anyone recommend a flash bracket for this

A: This Wimberley F-1 Telephoto Combo Flash Bracket is a great option. You would need to get a plate that is long and will stick out the front of the foot of your lens. It would need to be a plate that is double dovetail like most Wimberley plates are. The Wimberley flash bracket will go in the front of the plate as it sticks out the front of the gimbal. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/240877-REG/Wimberley_F_1_Telephoto_Combo.html
