Here's the one I ended up ordering, $83 with shipping: http://www.linkdelight.com/index.php/Tripods-Heads/Benro-8x-Carbon-Fiber-MC-66n6-5-sections-Monopod/Detailed-product-flyer.html
These are the monopod bodies I found that fold down short enough to fit in my pack and cost less than $100. There's a Gitzo CF monopod that looks very nice for $210-250, but that's not in my budget this week. $33 + shipping http://www.adorama.com/BG790B.html&searchinfo=MONOPODS $33 + shipping http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/427323-REG/Manfrotto_by_Bogen_Imaging_790B_790B_Modo_Mono_5_Section.html#specifications $40 + shipping http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/150490-REG/Cullmann_CU_741_741_Monopod.html#specifications $50 + shipping http://www.adorama.com/INDMA25.html&searchinfo=MONOPODS $50 + shipping http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/486892-REG/Induro_465_025_MA25_Alloy_6M_5_Section.html#specifications $50 + shipping http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/150466-REG/Cullmann_CU_2741_2741_Magic_Monopod.html#specifications $60 w/shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280271456592 $83 w/shipping http://www.linkdelight.com/index.php/Tripods-Heads/Benro-8x-Carbon-Fiber-MC-66n6-5-sections-Monopod/Detailed-product-flyer.html $90 w/shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260412897626 -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.
