Dave, Check out the Bogen/Manfrotto range, product details can be found at http://www.manfrotto.com/ , and for an idea of pricing http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ I use the ART #434B professional monopod and ART #308RC ball head, they are quite well priced and it's quite a light weight combo. When the leg sections are locked I can put all my weight on it and it will not collapse. The combo easily handles a big body and large zoom and any large lens (ie 400f2.8) that has a rotating lens collar.
