They work for small light cameras or flashes but I'd hesitate to put a DSLR on one.

Monopod? 60% of the steadiness for 25% of the packing space?

I have handled their top of the range aluminum tripod and it is a very nice piece of gear, if you get a chance you should have alook at one

Had a look at the joby site and see what you mean. Also the designs are all very similar so there is a lack of scale when you see them on a web page.
