I bought this to replace my tripod. I didn't realized it can't replace a tripod, but like it just the same. It is made well and is very sturdy. Once I get the hang of this item I am sure I will use it more and more.

I was surprised by the quality and material this product is made of for this price tag!
It is very well built and truly deserves the Canon logo on it.
However, I am a night phtography fan, and to be honest I have discovered this hobby for only two years till now so you can't say I'm a pro, I bought this monopod to test and see if it will help me get rid of my heavy tripod. Here are my results:
1- Portability: monopod 10/10 - tripod 3/10
2- Weight: mono: very light - tri: well it depends on which brand and price tag you got, but for sure this monopod is a lot lighter than any tripod out there.
3- Steadiness for long exposure shooting: mono: 8/10 if you are sticking the monopod between guard rails or leaning on a wall for example but 2/10 if you are trying to hold it vertically still especially if it is extended to your height which is most of the cases, so you still need to make it lean on something to get very good still photo if your exposure is 2 seconds or more, for less than 2 seconds exposures, I am far better off without the monopod by kneeling on the ground and resting one elbow on the other knee and the other elbow on my chest while using an Image Stabalizer than using a monopod - tripod: 10/10
4- Size when retracted: mono 9/10 (nice copmact and easy to store anywhere, heck it fits in the magazines pocket at the back of the drivers seat in your car) - Tripod: 6/10

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.

Great Buy. Easy to use, very stable. Used with camcorder and takes the work out of long recording periods. Haven't tried the walking stick idea but, I could see it working.

I bought the Canon Monopod 100 on September 2009 in order to get a better shots on my trip to the parks of the west coast. It worked well both as a stabilizer for my Nikon D40x and as a walking stick. It's light and easy to expend and collapse.
At the beginning I complained about the fact that the pin of the handle was on the way of the head stopper, but then I discovers that I can turn the whole head to another direction and avoid that.
I'm very satisfied although I believe that I could have been pleased with a different monopod as well. I needed it right away so bought it in Adorama (in Manhattan, NY) just before I took off and payed 37$ or so (on-line you might be able to get in for a better price). I wanted a monopod that is at least 62 inches. that was the best option for me. (Don't forget that the your monopod with your camera on it, need to be at the hight of your eyes and not the top of your head... It's important because you pay more in accordance to the length).
