Monopod for DSLR

[mandar5]

Hi friends,
I need a monopod which is quite sturdy for Semi pro DSLR body and pro lens. It should be tall (5Ft) when expanded.and not too heavy and within 2k price.

Regards,
Mandar

It's like you're expecting duke like performance, tvs sport like mileage @ xl super price. There is no monopod you could find with this criteria.

[MENTION=129278]man[/MENTION]dar you can get my monopod combination ...it will cost you more but its enough for pro grade lens and cam combination.
Benro A29T monopod - can take 10 KG
Manfrotto M234RC two way head - can take 2.5 KG but very reliable and cheap ..its whole metal built..can be used as weapon

I use it with D7000+Sigma 150-500 = 750+1.8 Kg = 2.55 Kg

Monopod+head combo may weight around 800gm

Good ball head itself will cost more than 2k. Also, light is not possible. Light matlab carbon fibre, which are costly.
