I agree to the homework thing - it's just my personal opinion about the ripoff - you don't have to take it to heart :)

I probably use my monopod more as a walking aid than a photograph taking aid... I use it alot for panning shots but otherwise I wish I hadn't brought it... I'm pretty good at the hand held thing even at low shutter speeds so it's been a waste for me :(
