Re: Monopods...

Monopods are not a substitute for the low light situations where you need a tripod.

Their strength is mostly for action and wildlife situations where to use a tripod would be too restrictive. They provide a steadier platform than hand-holding and also allow easier camera movement than you get with a tripod.

You can also use them for any situation, not just action/wildlife, when you are using long lenses that require good support. You might be able to use slower shutter speeds than normal too.
