>>4468727It's only worth it in situations where you need the weight support for heavy shooting durations, but also need more mobility than a tripod.
Basically just sports / wildlife with larger lenses where you need to remain mobile. Also maybe like wedding / event video stuff when using a longer lens
Longer monopods are nice to get high up shots without the use of a drone, but everything else seems better served with different options. A tripod is just better if you're able to use one, and IBIS makes them much less necessary too.
For travel, I just take picrel. Any pole, handrail, ledge, table, chair, etc, can become a tripod, and takes up less space than a tabletop tripod.
