Q: 5. I plan to use this head with my Sigma 150-600mm Sport lens: Does it attach and release easily? Is it stable or is the XPRO with quick release and QR plate a better option for this heavier lens?

A: The Manfrotto MHXPRO-BHQ6 XPRO is in my opinion the best one out of those. It has an Arca-Swiss style plate and those seem to be more secure with a heavy lens.And with an Arca-Style plate you can get other plates. And when you use that head with the 150-600 lens it would be better to use a longer plate like this one Wimberley P50 Quick Release Plate B&H # WIQRPP50 MFR # P-50.
