Hi Byrner,

This one is less than 50 - Ian Golds Telescopic Tripod

or if you are only to fish on the beach.

This one is also less than 50 - Ian Golds Tackle 5ft Beach Monopod

Hope this helps.

i've used a breakaway one for 15 years now. i made a slight modification by replacing the top screws with stainless steel ones. Has never blew down no matter how strong the wind and is adjustable for rock fishing also.
i get by with a little help from my friends.
