These have been on back order for a long time and BH says they will have them in January. Are there anything else that would be just as good or should I just wait?
 
I've never seen anything else in a monopod that works as well, it's pretty well the 560, 561 and 562.
 
Manfrotto has feet attachments for their larger mono's, but they're alot bigger, more cumbersome and less flexible. I've been using my 560B for over a year, and it's great for smaller setups up to a 7D + 300/4 + 1.4xTC or GH1. The 7D + tele is a bit heavy for this setup, but out in rough and uneven terrain where there might not even be room to setup a tripod, it's been great. I am considering getting the heavier duty 561 or 562.
 
Yah, I wanted to get that but they were sold out at most places I know of at the time and I didn't want to wait so I just bought one of their other monopods and threw a 701hdv head on it, but am wishing I had one with feet
