I made my own

I have an older vivitar tripod which I picked up a scrap second tripod for spare parts. I took one leg and attached a small ball head to the end by inserting a Rowell with diagonal split and a 1/4-20 bolt to expand the dowell as well as hold the head

That sounds fun but I'm looking to buy one actually. I'm sorry to inform that no monopod came home from the US.

Another vote for the Manfrotto 680B, I've been using one now, for a good number of years for both sports and music/gig photography.

In addition I use the Manfrotto 234 Monopod Tilt Head, it just adds the additional plane of movement that I require in use, they also have quick release version 234RC available if required.

Also it collapses down small enough to fit suitcases when traveling, I wouldn't recommend hand luggage, as it has a shape similar enough on the x ray scanners to get you unwelcome attention.
