I use a video head on my monopod. It's probably as stable as no head at
all and allows adjustment of the tilt. This is handy if one wishes to
use it for shooting birds in trees.

What sort of head do sports photographers use when they put their

tripod, I'd like to have the option to use Big Bertha on a monopod.
The people I know don't use a head - the screw the lens directly onto
the
end of the monopod. A head would become a weak point in the chain of
monopod>head>lens>camera.
I have a QR plate on my lens and I generally just screw a QR
compatible ball
head on my monopod, but then again I've only got a little lens, 300/2.8
