I am using a 5D2 and a 70-200mm f4 L IS lens with a monopod. I leave the IS switched on. Many of my pictures don`t seem to be as sharp as I expect. Any suggestions ?

DavidR said:The comment from Hillsilly made me think about a tripod collar to help the balance. After looking at reviews I decided to buy the Canon AIIW from Wex in the UK (much much cheaper than Amazon!!). Once I`ve tried it I`ll add my comments about its usefullness.

Chris Burch said:Keep in mind that IS and tripods only fix camera movement and have no effect at all on subject motion. If you're shooting a moving object, 1/100s may be too slow to capture a crisp shot that's free of motion blur.
