    I've got a large zoom lens for my Olympus, and when it's really zoomed in man is it difficult to hold steady. If the shutter speed is not fast enough then it's real easy to get blurry pictures. Being able to stabilize the camera without packing a tripod all the time is a real big help. What type of monopod did you get? is it height adjustable?

    As stated it was an "impluse" buy, did not shop for it (a good thing or, I'll still be looking at specs and whatnot), 12 bucks shipped online, and I grabbed it

    It is a Vivitar brand , up to 67 in. fully deployed, 23 in. folded. Just a traditional, fixed screw mount. Made of four sections, with plastic cam locks for adjustment. Nice spike at bottom, with rubberized foot that can be brought down to cover spike. Comes in a sleeve with strap.
