[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 457182, member: 9701"] When I went out on the Playhouse Square shoot, I took my D800 with the 24/1.4. I didn't know if tripods were allowed, and I really didn't want to lug a tripod around with my "lightweight" D800 setup. So... I took my monopod. It was (notice past tense) a Targus from Walmart. The catches that held the extensions in place had worn and any downward pressure on the monopod forced it to compact. Really cheesy. I made due, but decided I needed a new monopod. I checked out various Manfrottos on line. Nothing really exciting unless I wanted to sell a leg to buy one. Today, I stopped by my local camera shop and found exactly what I was looking for. All metal; no plastic, and extends to 63" It's a Pro Master Model 6785. The catches are metal and fully adjustable for tension and a wrench is included. I paid $59, but they can be had on line for $49. If [I]heavy duty[/I] is what you're looking for, this is a good one to research.
