"Dumb IS" and monopods

[Bill W]

My IS is turned on 100% of the time when I'm not using my tripod.


I find IS makes it easier for me to track (keep the crosshairs on the subjects eyes/ head) my subject, i.e. birds flying, people running, which I found very difficult w/out IS.


I also use it on fast moving automobiles.


If you got it....use it. []

[Sinh Nhut Nguyen]

Keep IS on, a monopod only minimizes movement, it does not eleminate it completely.
