Hi Phill, keep your eye out for something like a heavy duty
Giotto.

http://www.giottosusa.com/monopods.shtml

I can't see any in the UK but something like this one
in the US is ideal. (It would need a separate head)

Giottos MM9170 4-section Aluminum Monopod ebay_US

The bit you hold is 36mm diam.

That is the very one, in the first link, I have and very pleased I have been with it too.

Although the three wee legs seemed a good idea I've never actually used them

I have the Giottos 5570, which is the 4 section version of the one in the first link, which I would be happy to sell if you are interested. It has the mini tripod legs that store in the base, tilt head and quick shoe. It is 'as new' because I never got around to using it outdoors as I bought a Gitzo carbon fibre monopod soon afterward, which does the same job but is lighter.

£45 plus postage complete with bag and I think I still have the original box somewhere. PM me if you want any more details.
Regards, Philip
