it is lightweight, sets up and adjusts easily and is the perfect accessory for supporting my digital slr when shooting in low light conditions where use of flash is not possible.
supports slrs, but is light enough to work well with point and shoot cameras and binoculars.
with bogen ball head it makes a rigid single instrument for camera and even long lenses that serves as a hiking pole w/ camera.
it's a little heavy for backpacking - might go with a carbon version instead if money isn't the deciding factor.
while attending an event at my daughters karate school i noticed one of the other parents were using a manfrotto monopod, which allowed him to rest his digital slr and focus on the action of board
Cons: heavier than expected; perhaps not good for backpacking, (though it adds to pod's stability).
