Heavy/long lens. The monopod won't give you the stability that a tripod will, but it *will* limit the lens shake to left-right-forward-back rather than left-right-forward-back-up-down, and since the up-down is the most difficult to deal with (thanks to gravity), that's nothing to sneeze at. 3. Situations where every ounce matters, like backpacking over long distance. A tripod isn't very heavy, but however light it is, a monopod's going to be roughly a third the weight.
