Is it suitable for Manfrotto 680B Monopod with payload of approx. 3 kg. (Nikon D5100+Tamron 150-600mmLens)?

That is my plan too. Though i do not have the 150-600 yet. The lens is almost 2kg - so on paper it looks viable.

i have canon 7d mark 2 and tamron 150 - 600 . which is the best monopad and head for tamron 150 - 600 lens

HiI have canon 60D, I recently bought Manfrotto 682B Self Standing Monopod (Black), with Manfrotto 234RC Monopod Head Quick Release...its worth buying. but with this head the rotation is only 180 degrees on vertical direction. you check check these on youtube you will get better picture of these items

Strong tilt head, use for bird photography

Strong - holds up to 3 kgs, I use it on top of Sirui P204 monpod. Operating is easy. Highly recommended for bird photography to let you tilt the camera esp. while taking pics high on a tree

Excellent

Love it. Perfect head. Quick release is excellent.Easy to attach and detach while in the field. I shoot wildlife and often need to shoot flying birds and a head that detaches quickly is a must. This one fits the bill perfectly. The 90 degree rotation also helps a great deal when shooting macros.
