Tarek,

The pistol grip is part of the shoulder stock.  As Doug says the shoulder 
stock is really the way to go with the two Telyts.  I have also used the 
monopod with my 560, but the shoulder stock is much easier and faster to 
use.  Doug has combined both for a really nice setup when you have the time 
to use the monopod.
