So what constitutes a "good" monopod? I might be heading to Adorama this week to look at their Podmatic and others. I'm mainly looking for something portable and the Podmatic's the shortest one I've heard of (14" folded). Anything else in particular I should look for? I mainly want an extra bit of steadiness for shooting events and nature with long lenses. I might be doing a bit of sports shooting but not much. Thanks, Amita
