Dang, I just spent $100 on a monopod.

From what I've heard from other folks it can help, depending on the shutter speed range that you're in. Sort of like using a form of in camera image stabilization, it can only give you an extra stop or two; and you look like a tool.

I noticed that he's using a Canon. I'm out of luck as I use a Nikon!

I heard of this years ago and tried it once just for the novelty. I have never used or seen it used since. I think Beerguy summed it up.
