Hrm, that one in particular looks like it's not well-suited to travel, looks like one I had years ago with some little legs you can stick in the end. Some like the legs so you can essentially *remove* the camera and just leave the thing standing there, instead of looking for a place to put it, but you can do better for portability.
A tilty-head for vertical shots will get you ninety percent of what you could expect, or you could use a nice little ball head.
Maybe picture for us how you would like to use and carry your camera support, in particular? You can get darn near anything, these days.
I mostly used to use a monopod for sports type stuff, and leaving in the car for any longer-lens occasions that might crop up: there, I generally preferred no head at all (and had a pretty simple and solid Bogen...) sometimes I'd wish I had a head that'd flip vertical, but generally didn't want for a quick-release. Just as easy, if not easier, to just spin the whole affair onto the camera, if you aren't keeping QR plates on your cameras all the time anyway.
