Lightweight, stable, can be used as a walking stick and beat people = good monopod.

You don't want the monopod to break while to take shots from an elevation or get with super blur shakey awesome ugly fugly shots.

I thought of getting a manfrotto one. Can use it when i don't really need the tripod. Anyway. If you are intending to get one, we can get them together.

Manfrotto. It's not about the stick. It's about the quality you are buying. To me, paying good $$ for a superior quality equipment, I do not mind.

I'm getting mine soon. From Mass Sales section got good deals. Check them out.

trust me... monopod is seldom used, unless u always use long lens for shooting; eg in zoo & jbp.
