Flip locks.

Rubber and steel.
Cameras use a 1/4-20 tripod thread; larger heads and sliders often use 3/8-16. A reversible screw or an adapter lets one support take both.
A monopod takes the weight of the camera and steadies the up-and-down axis, which lets you use a slower shutter speed than handheld. Plant the foot slightly in front of you and lean the pole back toward your body to form a stable triangle with your feet. It still needs a hand on the camera at all times.
Flip locks are the fastest to set: open all four, pull the pole out, close them. They also make it easy to see at a glance that every section is locked.
