Neither. Instead get this one.

Our Version Of The Linhof Monomatic #003458 at $89.95us

5 Section - 1 Step quick open/close, closed 14" extends to 58 ½" improved version of the linhof monomatic - stativ monopod at half the price

Here is a link to a Popular Photography write up on this excellent monopod.

You won't go wrong and it should last you a lifetime of useage.

hi marc, velbons are sold under the hakuba name in some markets...they should be the same. personally, i don't know how much use you'll get out of either though i do understand your desire to carry it inside your bag. i do agree with the other poster that the adorama podmatic, although pricey, would be a great choice.

They are probably the same thing, and I had the Hakuba ones for a while, the table pod legs start to crack after like 2 days of use. and the monopod leg was too weak to support anything(it bends too easily and collapse too easily as well) My suggestion is, get a good monopod and a good table-pod. Hakuba mono-10 just doesn't have the quality to become either one.

I am still shopping for a good table pod, but in the mean time, I found my bean bag to be very useful.
