I have an old Targus monopod model with the ball mount on the top. All one needs to do is to get the Contour tripod mount, attach it to the camera, and then screw it onto the ball mount of the monopod. You now have added 20 or more angle variations. A drawback is that you hold it from the bottom (Light end), not the top of the monopod. But that is out-weighed by the fact that you are getting shots of yourself from every weird angle, and this option does things like allow you to tape a swimmer underwater as you walk the side of the pool or catch a celeb in a crowd by leaning it way forward over the crowd. A monopod is a must for any video guy.
