Graflex With Monopod?

Am thinking of using the Graflex Super D in combination with either the normal 190mm lens or my 10 inch brass lens and a monopod. The monopod is not as bulky to work with  as a tripod and should allow me to do exposures down to the slowest shutter available on the camera 1/30 of a seconds. I was able to hand hold some shots at 1/30 with the 190mm lens but others were blurry. By using the monopod I should have a higher percentage of non shaky shots. It makes the camera more awkward to use but the 10 inch is the equivalent of a 254mm lens, how can you hold that steady at 1/30 without an aid of some kind. Will experiment this week off with the combination in the photo, Graflex, brass 10 inch lens and the monopod.
