I use mine for football games as well. I'm on the sidelines and it makes my life a lot easier. I've also used it at hockey rinks and in school gyms. I carry it all the time!!!

I just picked one up to use on my 100-400. After a days use at the zoo I couldn't imagine shooting without it.

I went to the zoo last weekend - first time out of the house with my Powershot S3 IS.
I brought my 'cheap and cheerful' monopod. I carried it slung over my shoulder for 4 hours and used it for 15 minutes, I'm so glad I brought it. The weather turned bad and all the animals went to the back of their enclosures. The two attached shots are from a 480 shot 'safari', both of these were at x12 zoom (436mm equivalent) it was blowing a gale.

I dont think anyone knew I even had a monopod except when I was using it and I would have felt really embarassed If I'd gone out for the day and not been able to take all my shots because I had no support - equally carying several pounds of a tripod compared to less than a pound for a monopod is a no-brainer for me.
I have some better shots of the giraffe but I thought it was interesting that his face is slightly blurred because his head was swaying in the wind and not me!

Max :rolleyes:
There's no such thing as a bad photo, just the wrong audience.
EQUIPMENT: Canon Powershot S3 IS, 2x Transcend 2GB x150 SD, 2x 4GB Class 4 Dane-Elec SDHC, LensMate 52mm Adapter Tube and lots of stuff to hang on it.
A couple of flashes and a couple of strobes. My other camera is a Sony DSC-P200.
