Is this monopod tall with a Manfrotto 3232 tilt head tall enough for someone with a Canon XTI and battery grip?

I'm 6' and that is what I use. The 2540 is slightly too large for me with a 40D or 5D on board with or without a grip. with the 3232 it is about 3" too high when extended on a hard floor. This is a good thing because then it is pretty much adjustable up or down on uneven ground.

The 2540 is my very favorite monopod (I have 4 - don't ask).

I too have the GM2540. I bought the RRS monopod solution and I love it.

Hey JJ, you have four 2540's. You're a sick man!
