I use a Jessops monopod but I also have a Manfrotto tripod. If you are using the monopod fully extended you might find (I do) that it wobbles a bit. This doesn’t matter for stills providing the shutter speed is reasonable, but for movies it might. The solution, I find, is to mount the camera on the monopod so that the panning handle sticks out at 90deg. Hold the camera with the right hand in the usual way and steady it with the left on the handle. Don’t grab on hard, that will cause a PIO (!), just steady the monopod with thumb and forefinger as though you’re flying an aeroplane.

Bare in mind that static shots get to be boring if they last more 7-8 secs!
