Hey everyone,
I'm looking to get a cheap monopod setup. However I want it to have a ballhead and a quick-release plate just like my tripod.
This is my plan:
Canon Monopod 500 w/ mini ballhead

or the Slik Lighty Pod III (w/ ballhead)
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/469630-REG/Slik_618_719_Lighty_Pod_III.html
Plus the Manfrotto 323 RC2 quick release adapter w/ plate:

Am I right in assuming that either of those monopods will work just fine with the adapter? I want that adapter specifically because it includes and uses the same plate that I already own for my tripod.
Also, is there any reason to pick the Slik over the Canon? The ballhead appears a bit beefier/sturdier but I am really unsure.
Cheers!
