No but I can somewhat see this as being a good idea - I see five-0 using these and the Mags seem to hang sufficiently low. Just make sure it is thick enough so it doesn't slip out, you are looking at kind of a big opening. Personally, I have an R-Strap and just leave the monopod dangling underneath the camera with the ballhead unlocked. It swings a bit when I walk but doesn't knock my knee, only downside is the ballhead scratches a bit where the "neck" of the camera plate rub on the upper edge of the "ball cage" whatever the tech term for that part is. Kirk has such a contraption on a separate belt but it costs an arm and a leg. You could also just find a suitable carbine hook and attach it to the belt loops of your pants.
