Canon Monopod 100 for SLR Cameras & Lenses

I purchased the Canon monopod a bit more than a month ago. I do not have the cash available to purchase Image Stabilised lenses and was a bit disappointed in the sharpness of my shots. I shoot mostly outdoors and rarely use a tripod. The price of the monopod was what initially appealed to me. For $40.00 delivered it was a no brainer. I looked at other monopods and debated whether or not I needed the ball head...Anyway, I received the monopod, hooked it to my Canon 350D and started shooting. My shots are sharper! The product is well made and I feel very good about its value. A tip for newbies like me, when not extended, hold it in your hand with the camera agianst your shoulder and your lens over your shoulder. The ball head is a nice feature and so is the rubber tip at the bottom. Buy it, you'll be glad you did.

I have owned this monopod for several months and am very happy with it's versatility. The light weight, small size when collapsed and miniballhead all combine to make a very useful addition to my photo kit. Although I have expensive Gitzo tripods & Canon DSLRs, I find this Canon monopod gets a lot of use. I keep it in the car and often having it immediately available makes the difference in getting that unexpected photo. Although the price is amazingly low, it is a high quality product, and attractive as well. Highly recommend.

I just bought an HD camcorder to put on this. It arrived first. I am not a photography guy so maybe this is a nothing product, but I think its cool. Instead of the twist action poles you normally get, this has a latch that releases the pole so it can slide. So its a LOT faster than untwisting sliding and twisting again. Nice foam grip, and a ball joint to mount the camera then set it at an angle. I'm looking forward to using this. Very light also. It collapses to a little over a foot in length, good for a backpack. Hand strap just in case someone bumps the pole. The strap is at the top next to the camera so the camera will be saved. Buy it if you have the extra cash. My carpel tunnel is thanking me already.

This is a quality product, works as discribed, I reccommend it....plus you can adjust it to fit between your drivers seat and the gas pedal and you don't have to use your cruise control in your truck....a twofer

I just purchased a Canon Powershot S5 IS camera which requires an extremely steady hand in order to use the zoom features. I wanted something small enough to pack in a suitcase when traveling yet steady enough to capture quality pictures. The Monopod was the perfect choice. It folds up into a 21 inch pod which is easy to pack and lightweight. It also keeps the camera steady for use with the zoom functions.
