A lot of lightweight hiking sticks have a 1/4" tripod screw at the top. I have
the Cabela walking stick, $50 / 8 oz, which includes the tripod screw, a
compass, a match safe, rubber and tungsten tips, shoulder strap, writ
strap, shooting rest, and a snow bail. http://tinyurl.com/noarc Good way
to sneak a monopod into a museum, too.
If you ever get into using walking sticks, two are preferable for security on
loose or rough surfaces, and they can be used as ski poles too.
