Slik EZ Pod Monopod with Pan Head and Quick-Release
Overall I like this monopod. It's sturdy and easy to take on the road with me.
The Pros: well made, strong; positive leg locking leavers; great fine height adjustment feature; quick-release feature is strong and positive, and really quick to change; the provided carrying strap makes it easy to carry.
The Cons: just too short when fully extended for me to stand upright (I'm 5'-10" - would be worse for anyone taller), so I have to stoop to use it and never get to use the neat fine height adjustment; quick-release feature requires that a compatiple shoe (one is provided with the pod) be attached to any camera or long-lense that you want to put on the pod, so be sure to get enough for all your stuff; those shoes need to be left attached to the equipment (if you don't want to be constantly putting them on and taking them off, which would defeat the purpose anyway); the shoe is bulky (fits comfortably under a SLR, but is much bigger than the base of a point-and-shoot) and prevents a camera from being set upright on a flat surface.

A long list of cons, but still doesn't overshadow a great product, well made, and fun to use.
