Missing monopod........... should be easy to make/fabricate. Someone in Switzerland(I think he is on this forum too so come in if you are..........) had the same problem and used the adjustment part of the old M-20 3.5" rocket launcher monopod as the adjuster and made up the rest to look good. I never saw it but he described it as a very, very good second best
Let's know how you get on.......
