How to Use a MONOPOD FOR Macro & Insect Photography (With a Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro Lens)

How to Use a Monopod for Macro Photography: I mostly hand-hold for my macro and insect photography, but what about a monopod? It bridges the gap between hand-holding and using a tripod. It's lighter and more flexible than a tripod, but still gives you a degree of support and can reduce the pressure on your body. I gave it a try on an insect and macro shoot, with my Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro Lens, at one of my local haunts. Have you used this technique.. and does it work for you?
