Is a mono pod really that useful?

i wonder how many stops will a monopod yield vs. handheld. 1-stop?

It's not that simple but yes a stop or 2.

If it's stability, not support, you are looking for - you may be interested in making a VERY portable tool that appears to have a similar stabalizing effect. A chain that you stand on when taking the photo: http://www.flickr.com …coffeefromhell/​200651868/ (external link)

Yes its an old trick, normally just a peice of string. A monopod will be better, also it will help take the weight of the kit.

Surprise Surprise I did get a manfrotto monopod for Christmas. The one time I have used it with my 70-200 L made it even more amazing! The ballhead I bought for it is worth its weight in steel! :)
