Q: 1. Do you find that the quick release plate that comes with the GH-30 is long enough for the Canon 100-400 lens or should I buy a longer one. I have determined that there is a 5.5 inch one that is compatible and I am wondering if I should get that?

A: In my experience the one included is good enough but a larger one might work better.

Q: 2. How many bags of poly beads are needed?

A: The LensCoat LensSack Pro Beanbag Support measures 11 x 8 x 7.5", which is 10.82 liters. It is not an exact rectangle though; there is an opening at the bottom that will reduce the size of the bean bag. The Kinesis Poly Bead Fill for SafariSack 4.2 (B&H # KIR142) is 4.2 liters—I would recommend buying two bags.

Q: 3. it's come Empty or Filled with Sunflower Seeds?

A: It comes empty. We filled with plastic chips we bought at Hobby Lobby. Took quite a few bags. Kinda expensive but they won't mold or grow anything. ( you could look for larger bags online or eBay )

Q: 4. I would like an additional quick release plate for this head. What is recommended?

A: I would recommend either the Desmond DPC-140 Long Lens Quick Release Plate (140mm), B&H # DEDPC140, or the Oben QR-53 Long Lens Quick Release Plate (5.3"), B&H # OBQR53, for use with the Magnus GH-M1 Gimbal Head.

Q: 9. What is the best type of head to put on this? I initially thought of using some type of Gimbal head, but a salesman recommended a Sirui pan and tilt head. Any recommendations?
