The monopod is of good construction and is light and easy to use. It has a good ball mechanism to allow you to pivot the camera. It has a wrist star but would benefit from a shoulder strap as well. Very good Product and good value

Great Monopod Value with ball head
By J AndrewVerified Purchaser from south central Kansas on 9/2/2009

Bottom Line:

Comments about Canon Canon Monopod 100, 4 Section Leg with Wrist Strap & Ball Head.:

I wanted a monopod that was 1. tall enough. I'm 6'1" and it is perfect when fully extended. 2.It opens quickly with the levers. 3.It collapses to a small size. 4. It is not wobbly. 5. And the ball head provides range of motion and positioning for the dslr camera...to complete the features. I will need to get more talented before I need anything better. This is a great item!

Comments about Canon Canon Monopod 100, 4 Section Leg with Wrist Strap & Ball Head.:

I use it mainly while shoting with my Canon EF 70-200L F/2.8 lens. Using it compensate the lack of the IS and enables getting sharp pictures even in lower shutter speed (gaining 1-3 stops in compare to holding the camera manually).

Having never used a monopod, I wanted an inexpensive one to get a feel for the features I should eventually look for. This product seems to be well made, given the cost. My only complaint is that it's awkward to attach to the camera.

Comments about Canon Canon Monopod 100, 4 Section Leg with Wrist Strap & Ball Head.:

My method for success is to hold monopod with one hand, arm straight and elbow pressed hard against body. Brace monopod against outstretched leg, to prevent sideways movement.
There are times, when a tripod can't be used successfully. EG. Confined space, rocky shore lines, steep mountain slopes and uneven ground. This is where the monopod is indispensable.
The Canon monopod is lightweight, sturdy and strong and also makes a great walking stick. Include it with your backpack, you won't even notice its there.
Highly recommended.

A sturdy, versatile and cheap monopod.

Comments about Canon Canon Monopod 100, 4 Section Leg with Wrist Strap & Ball Head.:

The Canon Monopod 100 is a very useful tool when I don't want to carry a tripod (i.e. nature walks, sporting events, etc.).This monopod is lightweight and sturdy with a very comfortable foam covered handle. The carrying strap is adequate and well built. The ballhead is very easy to adjust and locks securely in the desired position(s). The mounting screw is made of plastic, so care must be taken not to overtighten or strip it. It's also a very good walking stick. The bronze colored leg extensions make this attractive monopod that stands out from the usual silver or black models. No, it will not replace a tripod but if used properly, you'll discover how truly useful this accessory can be! Too bad it doesn't come with a storage bag.

Great to use in lieu of a tripond when a tripod would be to big. A monopod is great to stablize your shot when using a non VR lens

The ball head allows you to angle your camera how ever you need to in order to get the shot.

Comments about Canon Canon Monopod 100, 4 Section Leg with Wrist Strap & Ball Head.:

Used correctly, a Mono pod is a great field stabilization tool . Many people don't know how to use one. Here's the scoop. The mono pod goes out in front of you at an angle of approximately 30 degrees, your camera rests against your face, for viewing and shooting, and your legs make a completed tripod stance. That's it. now enjoy your Monopod.A ball head is a must for adjustability.

Comments about Canon Canon Monopod 100, 4 Section Leg with Wrist Strap & Ball Head.:

It is not as good as a tripod and is difficult to hold steady to take a picture. It works better if you use the delayed shot. As a side note, it is a great walking stick. If you want a monopod and are aware of the shortcomings, this is a well made product.
