The best monopod I ever owned and the one I guess will stay with me until I quit photography, play a harp and sit on clouds is a Gitzo G1563 Mk2 aluminum 4 section monopod.
I bought it not so long after the year 2000 to support my Nikon FM2 (with MD-12) and 200-600 zoom (should be about the weight of a D3/D4 with 300 f2,8 lens attached). I kind of misplaced the monopod a few years later and since I couldnīt find it (thought I left it in the woods) I bought replacements from Manfrotto, Cullmann, Giottos and Velbon. One after the other I sold the replacements for my "lost" Gitzo because they were clumsy, flimsy or just did not support the weight without some flexing.
After moving through 5 different countries and now moving to a different city in Germany I finally found my trusted Gitzo back again. Found it in a guitar case (I donīt pay guitar because Iīm horrible at it but I lugged that case around nonetheless).
If I would have to buy a replacement I now know it will be another Gitzo product
