I also have a Digial Rebel but do not have a monopod. But Photographers Edge magazine carries them. You might want to order their catalog.

Charlene, As a fisherman, I discovered wading staffs (or walking sticks), that double as monopods. The way they work is,...they function as a normal walking stick (or wading staff) which attaches to your belt loop with some type of clip. The round wooden ball at the top of the stick unscrews to reveal a standard 1/4" tripod screw, onto which you can attach your camera or any light-weight ball head with the same thread. The better ones will telescope from @ 36" to 54" or so. These are great if you spend a lot of time in the field and do a lot of strenuous hiking to remote photographic locales. The staff offers stability and support during your trek. When a great photographic moment arises, you unscrew the top, attach your camera (or ball head) and you're ready to go.

I've used a Slik EZ Pod for many years. It's available for about $50 at mail order shops like Adorama [adorama.com]. While your looking, check out Adorama's Podmatic [page 3 of the Monopod Listings.] It's their version of the highly respected Linhoff Monopod, available for about $90.
