Theoretically the monopod should be no different than a tripod. I'd turn off anti shake for that also. Unless of course, the monopod isn't doing it's job in which case there's no need for it.

The only time I've found monopods useful was in using long lenses to shoot moving subjects. Otherwise I've found that there tends to be an unconscious lateral movement or sway.

Thanks for the info. I usually use a tripod, but am packing a monopod in my luggage.... between the size/weight, packing and lugging around factor(s), I hope it will be easier to take than a tripod. Usually when I travel, I shoot handheld shots, but I hope the monopod helps!

As far as anti shake, I will pass on the answer.
But, Monopods, if used as they were intended, taking time, they are not too bad. But if used when touring and not enough time to use as intended and having many people to bump one or being in the way, they become more of a burden and get in the way. There was only one time in Italy that it did serve a purpose - One of the guards (for lack of another name) saw me using it as short walking stick and must have thought I had a walking problem -- asked how long I had till the next train -- said about an hour. He guided me to a really neat private lounge. I almost wanted to take it all of the time if this would happen all the time. lol

Well, I didn't get into any private lounges! However, I had some specific times I wanted to use it and didn't take it everywhere. Specifically, I got some good shots (well good for me!!) in Yorkminster Cathedral and also used it while at Stonehenge (unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate there and rain drops were an issue!) But it did work pretty well inside the cathedral.
