Plus 2. Although my first accessory is an extra battery. L plate is second.

My experience is that a monopod is the cheapest way to get a couple more stops, especially out of a long lens. I have a fairly light manfrotto with a tilt head and I have beaten the heck out of it. It's finally starting to crack at the clamping fixtures but this is after at least a dozen years of use. I do sometimes wish that I had a stouter one but for me the point of the monopod is that it's easy to carry. I wired a Black Diamond ice screw holder to the shaft so I can simply clip it off to a belt loop on my jeans. Usually if I need more support I just bring a tripod.
