What monopod for €100?

With limited budget, what monopod incl. head for less than €150/$200 would you recommend?

It should be light and high enough for me (187cm/6'3").

Have a look at the Manfrotto 680B (£42 from Amazon), 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 (£10 from Amazon), it just adds the additional plane of movement that I require in use, they also have quick release versions 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 x ray scanners to get you unwelcome attention.
