I use sticks for static and then pull my rig off sticks when I need to move. I just hate all but the highest end monopods.
I never have liked using monopods. To me they are clunky especially when you have to pan. Edelkrone pocket rig is an absolute gem too. I have the modula 7 and pocket rig. I use both depending on how portable I need to be.
