Leki and Brasher both do models. I have a Brasher Hillmaster Guide pole but the screw thread is actually longer than the depth of the tripod mount on my D70s so it's not al that secure.

I too have the Brasher it is very light and strong.
I have no problem with the screw it measures 6.8mm, the female screw in my 40D is 8.8 mm deep.
But there are other things to consider... the height of the pole fully extended... and that the camera is mounted landscape.

Both problems can be resolved by using a head with quick release. for me it gives just that bit more height and can be adjusted for portrait mode.

The alternative is to use a real monopod as a walking pole,and why not? I often use my professional Manfrotto one this way.
