Monopod and m43

Has anyone experience of using a monopod with the lightweight cameras of the m43 system? I don't get on well with tripods and am looking at monopods as an alternative way of getting sharper results.

But I've never used one, so I'd like to draw on the experiences of those who have.

*- How easy is to to hold the camera and balance the monopod at the same time?

*- Are monopods going to give a good result for low light long exposures eg inside a dim church?This is a particular need.

*- Is there one which you'd recommend for travel (and thus for a variety of situations, light weight and easy to set up)?

Many thanks for any advice: I use a G3 and a mixture of primes (14/2.5, 20/1.7 and 7.5 mm fisheye) and lightweight zooms Panasonic and Olympus (9-18, 14-45, 40-150.)
