I have got a manfrotto monopod and can say that there are well built and very light it also makes the camera and lens easier to carry as it ballances the whole thing better. Mine is the 681B I havent bothered with the head but I can see its uses, if you look at monopods try pushing them down when they are locked if they push down then they arnt going to be that good the monfrotto can be pushed with all my weight and it wont fold up. If you realy want to spend loads try going for Gitzo these go up to many hundreds but are made by the same company as manfrotto I think.
