I have been using a Manfrotto (I think ART 079) monopod for the last  
20 years or so for this kind of thing, so I can't hate it that much,  
though I do -not- use a head on it, I find for wildlife I am OK without.
I prefer the Manfrotto lever clamps to the twist lock type, personally.
OTOH when I use the Telyts I use a shoulder stock.
cheers,
Frank
