Wanted - Manfrotto monopod

Looking for one which is lightweight (obviously) and easy to use and fit into a saddle bag of a push bike. Not worried about a cover as I can wrap it up in a carrier bag. Will pay £50, no more.

Many thanks.

i know its more than you wanted to pay (£100), but there is currently a manfrotto 055cxpro3 tripod on another uk pentax forum.
Great tripod, carbon fibre, so lightweight.
Hope this helps.

Sorry, no linking to competitor sites.

PS the OP asked about monopods, not tripods.....

This might be a bit entry level but I thought I'd mention it Argos £19.99 - 39cm collapsed.

So how big is this saddle-bag Aura? One issue with monopods is that the shorter they are when closed the more sections they have, and the lighter they are the thinner the sections, so to achieve small and light you might find it'll be very wobbly (unless made of carbon fibre)!
