the the Trekpod says it has a "ully integrated quick-release MagMount™ system." im not sure how that works, but the best in small portable and supports a heavy load is the
Kirk BH-3. it has a sweet spot (an area that you can tighten retention and the camera stays still, but can still be moved to reposition the camera), is super small, and uses quick release plates. i have two manfroto ball heads and hate their QR mechanisms.
beyond that, youll have to train yourself on how to shoot steady with a monopod (positions and what have you). where as the "tripod" legs on the Trekpod will allow you to have it free standing.
you could always get a carbon fiber monopod, but i am unsure about using these as walking sticks.
