You certainly can but as gramps says i dont,simply because i dont see the need to....
....I totally accept that you individually along with many others, may not feel the need to grab all the leg rings at once but on a monopod I do quite often feel the need be able to extend its leg as quickly as possible so I don't miss the shot. The scenario being that I have at least partially collapsed/shortened my monopod to be able to carry it more easily on walkabout and then suddenly a wildlife subject appears and I need to act as fast as possible. As my Canon 400mm F/5.6 L does not have any image stabilisation it really does help to use a monopod for longer distance shots. I expect that the new 100-400mm will be easier in that respect.
