Digital camera reviews of Canon Monopod 100 for SLR Cameras & Lenses
Digital camera Review: Best Monopod at a GREAT Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this monopod a couple of weeks ago now because I am shooting a Canon 20D with the Canon EF 100mm-400mm f/4.5 L IS lens. I also purchased the BG-E2 Battery Grip and the E1 Hand Grip thinking those would be enough to help steady the camera enough with this L lens on the front. I was wrong. I still love my hand grip for security reasons with my other lenses, and my battery grip I can't say enough about. This monopod, however, is the ABSOLUTE BEST. My shots have improved to the point where I have literally no blurry pictures at all. I have shot well over 5,000 frames using this monopod and I have only had maybe 10 shots that were blurry.
I attach the monopod to the ring mount on the lens and just start firing away with absolute confidence that my shots are going to be perfect. And they are. The monopod can handle the weight in the horizontal mode just fine. The vertical mode is a bit weak with the support, but it's not that big of a deal.
I stand 6'4" tall and the monopod is the perfect shooting height for me. I don't have to bend over at all to look through the eye-piece on the camera.
This is a PERFECT addition to my equipment and I am loving this.
Digital camera Review: Best thing since sliced bread!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this monopod! I'm a person who uses my camera nearly every day (Canon EOS Elan 7 35mm). This item is one of my favorite accessories for the camera -- so much easier to travel with than a tripod! It's sturdy, but lightweight, easy to use and is very portable. I am mostly using the monopod to support my camera with an enormous, extremely heavy 500mm telephoto lens attached. I'm actually able to hold that huge lens steady with just the monopod -- not one blurry photo! I've dragged it all over the Bluegrass of Kentucky ... across fields of horse farms, and even to the racetrack. I've taken it out into the wilderness to photograph elk. I had to keep closing it down and extending it out every time we got in and out of the vehicle, which was often. Also recently traveled all over Arizona with it to the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Canyon De Chelley, etc. I was constantly opening and closing it, taking literally hundreds of photos (about 14 rolls) with no problems at all. I'm wondering if the other reviewer just got a defective one. I wish I'd bought one of these years ago! I highly recommend it.Digital camera Review: Better Than Expected

Lightweight, sturdy, and easy adjustment. This is exactly what I was looking for to take to the National Parks where a tripod would be a burden.Digital camera Review: Better than I'd hoped
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product: sturdy, well-built, and easy to operate. On top of that, it looks good, too. Because I can now hold the camera steady for great periods of time, it has greatly improved the quality of my photos. I wish I'd bought one a long time ago.Digital camera Review: CANON MONOPOD
