A monopod, also called a unipod, is a single staff or pole used to help support cameras, video cameras, binoculars, rifles or other precision instruments in the field.
The monopod allows a still camera to be held steadier, allowing the photographer to take sharp pictures at slower shutter speeds, and/or with longer focal length lenses. In the case of video, it reduces camera shake, and therefore most of the resulting small random movements. When used by itself, it eliminates camera shake in the vertical plane. When used in combination with leaning against a large object, a bipod is formed; this can also eliminate horizontal motion.
Unlike a tripod, monopods cannot support a camera independently. In the case of still cameras, this limits the shutter speed that can be used. They still allow lower shutter speeds than hand holding, and are easier to carry and use than a tripod.
Many monopods can also be used as a "chestpod," or "beltpod," meaning that the foot of the monopod (sometimes with a special adapter) can rest on the belt, waist, or chest, of the photographer. The result is that the camera is held more steadily than by hand alone (though not as steadily as when the foot is planted on the ground), and the camera/monopod is completely mobile, travelling with the photographer's movements. This is similar to a finnstick.
Professional Photographer, Terry VanderHeiden, shows how to use a monopod to improve your digital photography. http://www.imagelight.com/

As you know, we love being creative with film gear, like using tripods as a Steadicam or sliders in every way possible.

Cherry stem in her mouth, she could tie in a knot
Favorite trick she does, one of ten that she's got
Makin' friends, setting trends, hardly having to try
All the looks by the book, best that money can buy
Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got
Ooh it keeps her company
Straight from Mom and Daddy
Last chance to dance out in back of the bar
Shakin' hands, nice to meet you, I don't know who you are
She has a toke and makes a joke about the alley man
Never pleasured from the treasure in a garbage can
Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got
Ooh it keeps her company
Straight from Mom and Daddy
Look what your money bought
It's all that she's got
Ooh it keeps her company
