Title: I need an answer quickly! Canon 100/2.8L and Stabilizer and Monopod?
Post by: Perry on November 11, 2010, 05:38

I need an answer quickly. This is the first time I'm using the combination Stabilizer lens + Monopod, and I don't have time to run tests.

I know that I should set the stabilizer switch off on my 100/2.8L when shooting on a tripod. But what should I do when using a monopod? I will be mostly shooting between 1/30 and 1/125 seconds. Is it better to have the stabilizer on to get rid of some sideways movement when using monopod or does it cause more blur?

One vote for "ON", does anyone disagree?

I agree with Patrick.  .. and from the manual

the stabilizer is equally effective for hand-helf photography and photography with a monopod

Oh, the manual, who reads it? :D

Okay I'll shoot with the stabilizer on :)

ON. Stabilizer is recording movement and acting accordingly, no matter what is holding it.
