Anyone have experience with this Giottos Monopod?

p-pod series

Some folks complain about the weight, but it's only 1-200g more than a Manfrotto 3-4 section aluminum with a pan head which weighs in at 1100g.

The manfrotto pan head (234rc I think) is only spec'd out for 2.5kg whereas the Giottos is rated at 15kg...I assume that rating included the head.

Is there anything else I should be looking that won't break the bank? This one is robust and feature-laden...is there anything light and economical that would take a k10d + 300/4 ?

Thanks!
