 Concept is flawed July 7, 2008
1 out of 9 found this review helpful
This product is of good quality, but it doesn't do much. I understand that if you have a 500mm lens and want something to support its weight, then it makes sense, but this will not replace a tripod, in fact it does not even come close to the effectiveness of IS (image stabilizer). I was looking for something to stabilize my camera in low light conditions (using the zoom) and this does not work.
 Light, cheap, solid June 30, 2008

One of the rules of photography is that for any serious work, you're going to be on a tripod. Tripods aren't possible in a lot of situations either by needing to be mobile or being in a busy environment and not wanting to be a trip hazard. A monopod gives you most of the stability of a tripod when you can't use one. Try using one in a darkened aquarium.
I did my first wedding shoot using only non-IS lenses with this monopod and had very few tossers due to blur. Yet I was still mobile enough to shoot a wedding. I know how steady my hands are, and a similar keeper ratio simply would not have been possible without it.
It's also solid enough to use as a walking cane or possibly for self-defense. It collapses short enough to not be a burden to haul around in my equipment bag, meaning that it goes where my camera goes. Absolutely worth the money.
Canon Monopod 100 June 24, 2008
Great value - the Canon 100 is comparable to monopods costing twice as much elsewhere. Would highly recommend it.
 So Far Very Useful June 21, 2008
I have not had this monopod for very long. This is my first monopod and so far I like it a lot. It's not the strongest piece of equipment but It does well with my Evolt E 500. I have not used it very long so it may disappoint me still. I will update this review if there are any major flaws. One problem I do have is that there is no quick release plate. This makes a problem with screwing and unscrewing your camera from the monopod. The threads of the camera screw can ware out creating an expensive problem. A separate attachment can probably be bought.
Canon Monopod reveiw June 20, 2008
The Canon Monopod makes shooting all types of photos easier and far more stable than you can do without it. It's also far easier to use than a tripod. Glad I got it, I'm very pleased.
