I agree. A monopod is great for carrying around and it certainly buys a couple of stops or even better helps to sharpen shots that might not otherwise be sharp. It's especially good for grabbing shots that would be difficult or too slow if you are using a tripod. I use a tripod 90 per cent of the time. A monopod 8 per cent of the time and handhold the other 2 per cent. Vic

They're great in places where a tripod would take up too much space, or would be a pain to carry. I may only use mine a couple of times per year, but it's nice to have when I need it. Used it at the airshow last month (pics should be ready next week). Also great for relatively low light telephoto shots. For instance, this one was taken at about 1/30th, with a 200mm lens: >>
