Either one of these is the most common.

What are you photographing? If you don't need to get far off the horizontal, then straight to the monopod. If you need to do much tilting up and/or down, you might be better off with the RRS MH-01 (external link) (add your preferred QR clamp)

The RRS MH-01 is great nice piece of equipment with a monopod and I use it much more than a tripod setup. It's nice for shooting overhead and also getting low to the ground.

^^^^^
I agree. It was a great addition on top the Gitzo Monopod.
Was not sure how I would like it but once I had it would not go back.
Also allows me to fold the monopod forward and makes a nice carrying handle.
