... but utterly useless for a heavy pro-DSLR with L glass.

I bought a very expensive monopod, thinking that it would be more convenient than an equally expensive tripod. It wasn't, at least for me. So then I got the expensive tripod. And then I got an equally expensive Gitzo Traveler. That's the one I use the most; it folds small enough to travel with, it's light enough to take on my occasional hike with my camera, and it's stable enough for the gear I use most. I've added a Really Right Stuff ballhead and their L-bracket, and they're a great combination. Laughably expensive, but they should outlast me.

when I am traveling or spending a day somewhere I usually carry a Velbon Ultra Rexi L (http://www.ephotozine.com/article/velbon-ultra-rexi-l-tripod-review-16157), it works very well and very small (36cm), goes into every bag (even most women bags), it holds easily my d90 + 80-200 or 24-70, have a simple manfrotto head (494RC2)
inside I have the manfrotto 055x with the joystick head

no - I have a fullframe Canon 5d m2 and have used it with the 16-35 and 24 - 105 lens without issue. I have not tried it with a larger zoom lens i.e. 100 -400
the pod I used it was was their biggest one - it is an X model I beleive
