Holds my camera steady specially when doing long shoots.

I just don't see where monopods help me as much as, say, leaning my camera against a tree to steady the image

This has helped keep my camera stable so that I've been able to get some nice shots of the icy falls as well as some raptors.

Helps me steady the camera for telephoto pictures and video filming

If you ever find yourself needing to hold a camera steady to get the exposure and effect you want without blur from wobble, a monopod is a good thing to have.

I removed my camera and wore it around my neck when I used the monopod for a walking stick as I feared the jarring might hurt my camera

That is, the metal tip might slip on smooth rocks or hard ice, and while the plastic tip will protect most indoor surfaces from scratches, it does little to protect your camera from the jarring of impacts (which is VERY bad for cameras).

Also - if you need a stand to hold a camera steady hands-free, you're obviously looking for a tripod.

Helps to stabilize my camera.

and it can also steady a camera in the padded V of the rest.

It keeps the camera steady but keeps the portable.

Worked great to steady the camera in the Safari vehicle

n’t buy if you like your camera.

Did have to but a Ball Head because the screw on this was not the standard size to attach camera but love the product

Quality monopod that helps steady the camera and is less cumbersome to carry and set up than a tripod

keeps my camera steady with no fatigue in my hands

So I bought two for dual use as walking sticks and to support my binoculars and my cameras while on this nature trip

I am not a professional photographer, but I do have several cameras and this thing works great with all of them, even my cumbersome

Enjoy being able to hold the camera steady when taking long telephoto shots...

I used it for the first time yesterday and it really helped to make it much easier to stabilize the camera at full 65x zoom

Perfect for what I needed, very light yet sturdy enough to support any camera.

just what I needed at my age to steady the camera

Big help to steady the camera, particularly for long shots.

Not only did it support my camera but served as a great walking stick on uneven terrain

While with the advent of modern optical image stabilization, handheld video can be of very high quality, holding a camera (and particularly a not-particularly-lightweight DSLR) still for any amount of time becomes tiring, and the video will suffer as a result

For travel, when I will be hiking, I use a Stansport Outdoorsman Trekking Pole which has camera threads (and therefore can be used as a monopod), and has a very sharp metal tip for gripping ice or rocks and a very shock absorbing rubber tip for indoor surfaces (but I use the rubber tip outdoors to protect my camera from jarring).ESSENTIAL ACCESSORYMANY reviewers report that the head (where your camera screws onto the monopod) can break off attached to your camera, and then can be difficult to remove from your camera.

I use this for steadying my video camera on the go

I needed a monopod to help stabilize my camera when super-zooming, and this works perfectly

I don't want to have to lug around a full tripod, but sometimes it would be nice to have something to stabilize the camera without relying on my surroundings

I use it to steady my camera for action/sports photography with my 70-200 f2.8

Camera and video camera worked great

I did carry the camera upside down, hanging from the monopod a few times while adjusting my position

No more tired arm shaky camera footage.

It not only helps me steady my camera, but doubles as a walking stick

The handle (which is made of foam) is comfortable and makes for an easy grip and steadying the camera for the right shot.

Allowed me to get great shots without blurred photos from trying to steady the camera by hand.

I'm subtracting a star because I wouldn't be comfortable putting a larger lensed camera.

keeps the camera steady and in one position.

It's perfect for keeping the camera steady and sometimes as a walking stick.

This means your 1, 3 or $10,000 camera is hanging from a very small amount of steel

I don't plan on hanging my camera upside down on it or pushing it too far.

I think I could actually walk around with the compact camera attached, but the DSLR was heavy enough that I would want to unscrew it when not in use

It seems a little flimsy but held up well, was light weight, and steadied my camera for some decent pohtos

It does not support the camera

When swinging the monopod into the vertical position my camera and lens became free flying objects and only with extremely good luck was I able to catch the camera and lens in the crook of my arm.

Nice, quick steady camera platform!

I am pleased with this product and would recommend- as long as you don't have too heavy of a camera lens on it.

I works as it advertized.

Works exactly as I had hoped.
