Does any one have any experience with the Manfrotto monopod that has little feet at the bottom?
http://www.manfrotto.com/products/index.html?doc_from=home i assume the legs are removeable to use it as a normal monopod? I also am getting one for xmas :) For travelling it seems like a good compromise between a tripod and a normal monopod.
