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

This sturdy monopod easily supports my 4 lb binos. With bino "L" adaptor, extension is long enough to put the glasses 1" to 2" above my eye level for overhead viewing (I'm 71" tall).

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

Good product; sturdy. Would like a quick release attachment though.

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

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

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).

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

Saw other units at Penn the other day (costing more) that lacked a ball head.

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

When you have been shooting for awhile it is nice to have something to help steady your camera or yourself when using it as a walking stick.
It's light weight and compact construction makes it easy to travel with.

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

I like to avoid using flash where possible, and this monopod helps a great deal. I found it surprisingly solid for the price. No quick-release plate but it screws quickly and easily onto the camera.

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

I use this product for stabilization while taking photos on a hike (when I don't want to drag around my tripod). Its also great when photographing my childrens' sports games (soccer, baseball etc.). The ball head makes it easy to flip for vertical shots. Its sturdy & reasonably priced!

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

Great for stabilization. Used for sports action photography with long lens.

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

very nice monopod

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

Time will tell on the sturdiness of the leg clamps;
very rigid when closed = good stability.

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

Good value for the money. Nice and portable. Small enough to strap on to camera bag.

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

Having a real tripod is necessary for ultra-long exposures, but this great device is compact and works wonders for shoring up an otherwise unsteady hand.

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

I use this for longer shots when I don't have a tripod and for hikes.
Very sturdy construction and simple to use. Works great for me!

Very handy for stabilizing the camera in longer exposure times, reduces the need of a heavy tripod.

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

Easier then a tripod to pick up and go. I use with my medium sized point & shoot cameras.

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

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.:

I bought the monopod to have on a outdoors trip where I didn't want to bring my tripod. The monopod works great and is quick and easy to set up.

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

One improvement I would like is a quick release head to leave on the camera. Screwing the monopod to the camera is not difficult, but it would be nicer with quick release, Still, this item is well worth the money!

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

Great product, I couldn't be happier with it. I have a few friends that ordered it after I bought mine cause they like it so much.

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

Well made at a great price! Great for quick support in wildlife photography on uneven ground. Not a bad hiking stick either!

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

would like a covered case for it

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.

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.

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.
