This is a great, light weight mono-pod. The camera (E-510) mounts to it quickly and the head holds it tight. The ball on the head stays put even with a larger zoom lens on it and the leg sections are easy to extend. They also stay in place once the levers are locked down.
All in all this is exactly what I was expecting and it fits my needs perfectly.
So why only 4 stars and not 5? I would have liked a built in clip that would make it easy to attach to my camera bag; I had to make one of those myself.
Other than that - a great item.
 Invaluable tool for Macro work!... August 9, 2008
In the beginning, I was toting around a tripod for shooting flowers in Macro mode, but soon became annoyed with all those "legs" around me when shooting. So, I decided to invest in a Canon Monopod 100 where all I had to do was just raise or lower the one leg which I found was so much better than using a tripod.
I'm not knocking tripods, because I do use a tripod for other photo shoots, and I'd surely be lost without one.
But, in my case, shooting flowers, I simply found that a monopod worked wonders. And, when i first used the monopod, I was afraid that my shots would come out "blurry", but quite the opposite, no blur at all, so thats when I was sold on using a monopod.
Great Value August 1, 2008
This monopod is well built, and is a great value for photogrpahers on a budget. It has done a fine job for me with a 300 mm telephoto lens.
Compact and handy! July 13, 2008

I like carrying a pocket point-and-shoot camera, but needed more stability for some shots. I purchased the Canon 100 monopod about a week ago, to use with my PowerShot SD750. The body is light, but very rigid - there's no flimsy feel to it. The rubber footing is minimal, but adequate for concrete and rough stone - you might want to replace the foot for more exotic materials. I let a coworker try his Canon Rebel XTi with it - he had nothing but good things to say!
For best results, practice your breathing when shooting with monopods - it really reduces shaking in low-light images.

I highly recommend the Canon Monopod 100. Sturdy, good looking, and inexpensive. I'm 6'3" and it's just tall enough.
