The Gitzo GM5561T traveler 6x Carbon Fiber Monopod is an extremely sturdy and relatively lightweight and compact monopod. This monopod, when completely folded, stands at a diminutive 16.3", weighs about 1.6 lbs, and might even fit into a larger camera backpack or case. At 61.2" when fully extended, this traveler model rises as tall as most standard Gitzo monopods.
