well i'm jiggered,

i am lookin at getting one to, after goin to silverstone on friday

i was gona get a new tripod, but i think i will be better off with a monopod, as its usefull for other things ( walking stick, fending off unwanted atention and robbers, lol )

I quite like the look of this one - it seems very versatile.

I've had that exact monopod for must be 10-12 years, it's very lightweight, and quite tall which is good since I am too :) it does not however have a quick release head. Very simple and straighforward to use though, recommended.
