Have a monopod?

I will be in Maine this weekend. There is an ocean front walkway called the Marginal Way. I will be using a monopod with a ball head. Landscape, sunsets, etc. I use a
tripod with a pan head.

I've been looking into monopods and there seems to be some very good reasons for having one. For those of you who have them, do you use them as you thought you would? Were they worth the investment?
Because a monopod can be shortened down to 2-feet tall or less, and extended to head height, it's a very versatile thing to have along. It's easy and light to carry. They're great and cheap.

As others have said they are worth the investment,great for sports, museums, long lenses, walking sticks and if you get a good heavy stable one as i have it's a great night stick/ weapon against wild animals if in the wilderness or in the city, and it's legal! You can't go wrong for the cost and yes a ball joint head no question. :thumbup:

I have a monopod and I really like it. I got the most use out of it shooting football games. I should use it more often. I don't have a "head" on it. There is a separately bought attachment I have on mine, but it is just for tipping the camera sideways to do vertical (portrait) shots. There are times when a ball or pan/tilt head would be useful, but I'm happy with it the way it is.
