 Save your money. Stop buying IS lenses! January 3, 2009
I had this on my wish list for a while, and recently received it as a gift. In retrospect, I wish I would have bought it as soon as I got my first SLR.
Right off the bat, this monopod is incredibly light, and extends long enough for just about any application. It also collapses small enough to strap to the side of the Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG with minimal overhang.
I've already used it several times with a Canon Digital Rebel XSI and Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Telephoto Zoom Lens, and it's excellent. Now I'm happily using the faster, deeper lens instead of my tried-and-true (albeit slower and shallower) Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens.
For those more familiar with tripods, monopods take some getting used to. If you're not willing to "actively" take shots or expect the monopod to magically raise and lower, you don't want one of these. But for what this costs, and how well it's made, you can't really go wrong giving it a shot.
This is probably the least expensive thing I carry with the rest of my gear (next to a lens cloth), and next to the XSi body, it easily gets the most use.
Great monopod for the price January 3, 2009
I got this monopod based on reviews and because I wanted to use it at aquariums and museums in the area that don't allow tripods, but allow monopods instead. It works great with my Canon Rebel XTI and is nice to have when I don't feel like carrying around a bulky tripod. Definitely recommended.
 Great monopod, not to be used with heavy lenses though! December 10, 2008
Definitely convenient than carrying my tripod, this monopod has served me well on several occasions. I use it mostly with my D200 and my 18-200mm VR with the VR turned off. The monopod can be opened and closed very quickly and works very well. I have tried using it with my 80-200 f/2.8D at times, but I would prefer not to do that.
As it is light, I usually carry this monopod with me most of the times as opposed to my tripod that I prefer leaving at home unless I am taking it in my car.
For the price, I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
An outstanding value December 7, 2008
I used this for the first time last night photographing Christmas lights. It held my Canon S5 IS on both pavement, soft soil and grass with a shutter speed down to 2 seconds. All 100 of my pictures were sharp. This monopod collapses to a handy small size and is easy to carry. A quick release would have been nice, but I wouldn't expect that at such a low price. The ball was easy to adjust for camera vertical shots. This is a quality lightweight product that I would highly recommend to a friend.
Canon Monopod December 1, 2008

I've been looking for a monopod for quite some time as no one in my area carries them. I've always been partial to Canon anyway since that's what I learned with, so I figure you can't go wrong with their monopod. I used this on my honeymoon all over Nashville and I've got to say, it's very sturdy and reliable. I didn't want to take my tripod with us because of all the traveling we were doing and the monopod small size collapsed made it very convenient. The other factor was it's length extended, I'm better then 6 feet tall and this is one of the few that would be tall enough for me and still have a great price.
