Canon Monopod 100 for SLR Cameras & Lenses |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Save your money. Stop purchaseing IS lenses!!
Comments: I had this on my wish list for a while, and recently received it as a gift. In retrospect, I wish I would have purchased it as soon as I got my 1st 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 have 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 am happily using the quicker, 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 are not willing to "actively" take shots or expect the monopod to magically raise and lower, you do not want1of these. however for what this costs, and how well it's made, you can not 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 almost all use. |

Summary: Great monopod for the price
Comments: I got this monopod based on reviews and because I wanted to use it at aquariums and museums in the area that do not allow tripods, however allow monopods instead. It works great with my Canon Rebel XTI and is nice to have when I do not feel like carrying around a bulky tripod. Definitely endorseed. |

Summary: Great monopod, not to be used with heavy lenses though!!
Comments: Definitely convenient than carrying my tripod, this monopod has served me well on several occasions. I use it almost allly with my D200 and my 18-200mm VR with the VR turned off. The monopod can be opened and closed quickly and works well. I have tried using it with my 80-200 f/2.8D at times, however I would prefer not to do that.
As it is light, I usually carry this monopod with me almost all 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 endorse it to eone. |

Summary: An outstanding value
Comments: I used this for the 1st 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, however 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 endorse to a friend. |

Summary: Canon Monopod
Comments: I have been looking for a monopod for quite some time as no1in my area carries them. I have always been partial to Canon anyway since that's what I learned with, so I figure you can not go wrong with their monopod. I used this on my honeymoon all over Nashville and I have got to say, it's sturdy and reliable. I did not want to take my tripod with us because of all the traveling we were doing and the monopod small size collapsed made it convenient. The other factor was it's length extended, I am better then 6 feet tall and this is1of the few that would be tall enough for me and still have a great price. |
