The Gitzo monopods that I have owned made really lousy walking sticks.  Too 
heavy, lousy tips, etc.    I don't know about other
brands.  I suspect they are no better.

However I do have a solution to your dilemma......  Go get a beaten up old 
useless ( or new) ski pole for a walking stick, AND a
monopod for your camera.  The ski pole will likely cost you $1, weighs 
nearly nothing, and works really well.  

The monopod, well, you know......

Any recommendations from the group - my girlfriend has me on a weight 
loss program and wanted to get me a walking stick but I also need a 
monopod.
