Canon Monopod 100 for SLR Cameras & Lenses

I have been using this monopod for about 8 months now with my digital SLR, and I absolutely love it! I have a tendency to shoot a lot of tilted pictures, and my monopod eliminates that problem. I find I use it almost entirely instead of my tripod (although I haven't tried it for those night shots... yet). It's so easy to move around with, especially since I shoot a lot of youth sports. It adjusts to every height I've needed it at, and it never slips once it's tightened. The ball head can be made as tight, or as loose, as you want it. Plus, it looks impressive! I have no complaints about this product!

I'm a birder and I have found my new Monopod to be an ideal tool to help me get better photographs of birds while birding at the Arcata Marsh. It easy to set up,just a second or two, at the hight that you need to get a good shot at the birds. It can be used like a handle too for more stable shooting. I bird with my slr in that I take photos to make my identifications of the various species. With this tool I'm able to take great, blur free shots that I can later upload to my computer where I can make positive identifications.

I have used this twice now. I don't know much about monopod's and have never owned one so it's hard for me to compare. It is easy to set up, seems to hold tight on all sections, seems sturdy. I think most of my problems are operator error due to lack of experience.

Even on short trips I carry a load of equipment whenever I travel. Cameras, lenses, computers, cables, books, magazines, and that's before you get to the essentials like clothing. Hardly room to add a bulky tripod. I needed the support when holding long lenses or shooting in low light an my images suffered because of it. Enter the Canon Monopod 100! I never leave home without it now, even toss in my car for local trips. It's improved my low-light shot and has been great for steadying my telephoto work. It's light weight, yet strong, with an easy to use swivel head. Makes a good walking stick on hikes too. Me and my Canon Monopod 100 make for a great tripod!

a good viable solution to keep your camera as steady as possible in close quarters...
