That one is a DSLR monopod. I purchased a Manfrotto that works with both DSLR and SLR cameras.

I'm a little confused. Are the tripod or monopods mounts different on DSLR vs. a SLR?

One's digital. The other one is not. It's monologue.

There is no difference for digital or film; tripod or monopod. Almost all cameras have a standard 1/4" x 20 threaded insert for tripod attachment. You can buy a tripod or monopod with a 1/4" x 20 screw for direct attachment to the camera, you can buy one with a quick release on the head and screw an adaptor plate onto your camera or you can buy a quick release head or adaptor in any combination.

Smart move, but aren't there compromises when buying one device to do two jobs?

Cool! My plain old monopod is just a long, expanding stick with a camera mount on top. This one looks snazzy!

Most tripods have a 3/8-16 thread. You can buy adapters to take the 1/4-20 thread to this larger size... I have replaced my old SLR tripods and monopods with newer DSLR versions too...

Jerry my mom used to use the word, snazzy, fairly often. Of course that was 40-50 years ago. I occasionally use it for my nine year old granddaughter to teach her a new word. Nifty or sometimes keen, possibly, nifty keen, would be others. Her eyes looking to Nana in disbelief tell everything.
Thanks for bringing back some good memories,

A nice piece of 2x2 with a hanger bolt can make a solid monopod and a jim dandy walking stick too...

In case you haven't figured it out, the comments have been a satire on the marketing moniker method.
No, there is no difference, but marketing people hope that it will attract some buyers based on the noted use.
