I recently bought this monopod for my Digital Rebel XT, and large 70-200MM f2.8 lens. I spent substantial time reviewing monopods and comparing their specs prior to ordering this Slik EZ Pod. I like this monopod in that it: (1) has a quick release, (2) is very light and compact compared with many other models, (3) has a shoulder strap (which is NOT included with not other monopods - most have a cheesy wrist strap), and (4) can hold a heavier max weight (8 lbs, I think) than similar monopods. Overall, I am quite pleased. This is my first monopod and I was surprised at how light it was, and in turn, how light it made my heavy (3+ lb) lens setup feel. Because this is my first monopod, I was however, slightly surprised that it didn't allow me to hold the camera quite as still as I had hoped. When I was shooting with it, I still needed to set my shutter speed above 1/60 sec to decreaseblur. Perhaps this is an effect of my large lens setup, as I have not tried it with my smaller, lighter, lenses yet. Or, perhaps, monopods in general are not made to hold cameras as steady as tripods. I did buy a tripod as well.. still waiting for it to arrive. So, the short and sweet: in my opinion (based on this monopod's specs) this is the best monopod out there - it has many advantages over similar monopods. Just try it... you'll be pleased.
