Then there are Walt's favorites from Stoney Point. The "Explorer" three
section monopod at USD 47, 25-62" tall, 11 oz. (64-158cm, 312 grams)
<http://theconsumerlink.com/STONEYPOINT/detail/TCL+T3M62-VXX/100>
and the "Expedition" two section monopod at USD 39. 35-65" (89-165cm),
same weight.
Normally equipped with a "Y" yoke for rifle shooting they can also be
had with a wood knob attached to the 1/4/20 screw at top. You can, of
course, attach the low cost Bogen monopod head to that screw. This one
has a QR plate
