The regular monopod from Cullmann is one of the few short enough to
fit inside the rear pocket of a PhotoTrekker (MiniTrekker has same
size rear pocket btw)....
(without head, but I tend to use it only with my 200/2.8, which has a
rotating tripod-collar)
The only possible improvement would be a lighter one from fiberglass,
but all these come in the wrong sizes too.
