Digital camera reviews of Canon Monopod 100 for SLR Cameras & Lenses
Digital camera Review: Compact and handy!
Summary: 4 Stars
I like carrying a pocket point-and-shoot camera, but needed more stability for some shots. I purchased the Canon 100 monopod about a week ago, to use with my PowerShot SD750. The body is light, but very rigid - there's no flimsy feel to it. The rubber footing is minimal, but adequate for concrete and rough stone - you might want to replace the foot for more exotic materials. I let a coworker try his Canon Rebel XTi with it - he had nothing but good things to say!
For best results, practice your breathing when shooting with monopods - it really reduces shaking in low-light images.
Digital camera Review: Concept is flawed
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: Cool

I just bought an HD camcorder to put on this. It arrived first. I am not a photography guy so maybe this is a nothing product, but I think its cool. Instead of the twist action poles you normally get, this has a latch that releases the pole so it can slide. So its a LOT faster than untwisting sliding and twisting again. Nice foam grip, and a ball joint to mount the camera then set it at an angle. I'm looking forward to using this. Very light also. It collapses to a little over a foot in length, good for a backpack. Hand strap just in case someone bumps the pole. The strap is at the top next to the camera so the camera will be saved. Buy it if you have the extra cash. My carpel tunnel is thanking me already.Digital camera Review: Cool Stick

I was in Alaska (Sept 07) and wished I had a monopod with me. I saw others using them and it seemed just the ticket for quick, steady shooting. I have a Canon EOS MArk II N with a 100-400mm zoom lens. So when I got back from my trip I searched online and found this Canon monopod. A couple of weeks after I received it I had the chance to try it out at a surf contest (O'Neill Cold Water Classic). It was just the thing for action shooting stability and so much easier than using a regular tripod. I took over 1500 pictures over 5 days and got the most perfect exposures I've ever taken. I'd recommend this monopod to any level photographer. I'm an amature. Cheers!Digital camera Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
This monopod looked well designed -- comfortable grip, light weight, extra length, easy-to-use swivel head, very compact. Unfortunately, after just 3 uses, the bottom lever just snapped off with hardly any pressure. The plastic is too brittle to support the pressure of holding the leg in place. Other users have noted this defect as well. I can't see any way to repair this. Adorama's return policy requires you to return defective products within 14 days, with complete packaging intact. I really wish this monopod had been made of more quality materials for the levers -- it really was perfect in every other way. Now it's unusable.
