Apparently, the order of stability, as measured in prints, goes as follows.....( assume AF always) Lowest: hand held Monopod... almost equal to .... Hand Held with IS Monopod with IS Tripod.. apparently no difference with or without IS Told to me by a local Canon Salesman... Frank Filippone Red735i at earthlink.net I would put a vote in for the monopod: you will NOT use it in the jeep, BUT if you are outside the jeep, nothing beats a light portable support. Combined with image stabilization, its better than a tripod in most situations, and can be carried in your check in luggage anyway: no real issue, take a monopod would be my tip ;-) Alastair
