can anyone recommend a monopod that can be used as a hiking pole?
have any experience with one?
was looking at the gitzo range (1560 etc) , but not sure this will stand up to be a hiking pole. similarly manfrotto?
id also like quick release for camera, so camera stays in pack whilst hiking, but is quick to mount.
im not so keen on the leki offering, seems more hiking stick than monopod.
i know tripod would be better, but just know if wont be used/taken.
(to be used with canon 20d + 30mm lens, and possibly sigma wide angle)
thanks
