The mono sells for $489.00 And the head sell for $179.00. You are getting the Wimberly Head for free. I have been in the field for hours and still find a big lens to be comfortable. I wrapped the top of the mono with a firm foam and then secured it with tape. Then the camo foam padding over that distributes the weight for ultimate comfort. Also included is the Camo Shoulder Pad, a @28.00 value.

The Gitzo GM4552L Series 4 Monopod Sells for $489.00 is a 5-section, carbon fiber monopod. It is the tallest model in the range, designed to securely provide low-footprint elevation and be lightweight, particularly effective when shooting over crowds and fences.
The GM4552L is a professional solution that leverages larger tube sizes (top leg diameter 37.0mm) and stiff Carbon eXact tubes to provide rock-solid stability even when extended to its maximum height of 190 cm, keeping weight to an absolute minimum.
It securely supports an impressive 35 kg-worth of equipment and weighs only 730 grams. Gitzo’s G-Lock Ultra system makes the tubing even stronger by rigidly connecting the leg sections, protecting joints from moisture and dirt. The monopod features a handy, reversible 1/4'' and 3/8'' mounting thread for attaching various types of cameras, lenses, and heads.
It folds down to just 56 cm and is easy to pack or strap to a backpack for day and overnight hikes.

When speed and fluid movement matter, the MH-100 MonoGimbal Head for Monopods by Wimberly brings the functions of a full-sized gimbal head to your monopod with a fraction of the weight and bulk. Its new and unique design allow you to balance the center of gravity of your lens over your tripod, preventing lens flop while maintaining the full range of movement. The solid aluminum and steel construction of the MH-100 means that its only weight limitation is the strength of the monopod. It can be mounted directly on a 3/8"-16 threaded stud or can also mount securely on an Arca-Swiss style quick release receiver clamp.
