Even when using my P67II, I handhold it whenever there is going to be any movement - meaning kids. I don't think a monopod would be that advantageous (I use one quite often for other things) in this venue. I also think that it helps to not be too far away. I tend to shoot with a 165 (85 in 35mm terms) and find that to be a comfortable working distance.
