Apoligies, I should have said what a monopod was in the original post.
Mine is a old manfrotto model, it's heavy guage alloy in 3 sections, and extends to about 6 foot (roughly) The outer section on mine is wrapped in clingfilm and then duct/gaffer tape to provide some insulation when holding it on cold days. It also has a length of paracord tied to it so I can sling ir over my shoulder for any scrambles.
For those who don't know what a monopod is. It's essentially one leg of a camera tripod, usually with a ball and socket head, it's popular with wildlife and sports photographers who need to steady a long lens but haven't time to set up a tripod.
