Graydon, though late here is what I have and use from time to time.
The leg is Manfrotto 676B digi. The head is also Manfrotto 486RC2 (small
ball head with quick release plate integrated). It works for me, but my
biggest lens is Tamron 28-75/2.8 so that it in fact depends on the
lens/camera you're going to be using. I am 180cm (6' or 5'11") tall so
that this monopod is just right for me.

P.S. In fact, I've just realized that since I bought a grip for my K10D
I did not shoot from the monopod. So take that into account - it does
work for K10D (sans grip) and Tamron 28-75/2.8. Bigger/heavier - I don't
know - haven't tried.

So, the stuff I think is relevant:
- I'm 190cm/6'3" tall
- unlikely to be trying this with a lens over about 2.5 kg
- stability/strength over lightness, though I'd rather not feel as
though sticking a ballhead on a length of gas pipe might be the
better option
- lots of the places I try to take pictures have a generally soft or
uneven substrate
Any advice, recommendations, horror stories?
Thanks!
