I bought this head to replace the head on an old trusty monopod and bring it into line with the quick release on my tripod (a Manfrotto). It is an adeal monopod head, simple, sturdy and not too costly. The quick release can be locked into place should you wish a bit of extra security when carrying your camera about on the monopod but is really secure enough without the lock. There's little to say about such an uncomplicated piece of kit but its worth the cost over cheaper makes and will probably last a very long time.

I bought this for use with a Manfrotto monopod for when I was visiting Yellowstone, it worked OK initially, the QR being a boon when switching between hand-held & supported shots. Changing between landscape & portrait was fairly easy, just by re-aligning the baseplate as per the markings on its underside. This meant I was regularly loosening & retightening the screw, which probably contributed to my point below.
The downside is the method Manfrotto have adopted for retaining the screw within the baseplate - rather than have the hole only slightly larger than the thread, they have opted to use a thin washer to support the circlip. On my model this deformed, was pulled through the plate and interfered with the locking mechanism, to the extent my camera fell to the ground when I was walking, fortunately on springy grass, so no damage was done.
I have now fitted a full thickness washer, but the base of the camera is now slightly proud of the rubber surface of the baseplate. I can (& will) machine the recess to take this thicker washer, but Manfrotto should have got the design right from the start - I suspect they have cut costs by using the same QR baseplate for larger diameter screws.

I purchased this earlier this year along with a manfrotto monopod for a fashion shoot I was doing. I was surprised at how sturdy it was - absolutely rock solid. It wouldn't give even a fraction of a centimeter in wobble or shake.
Highly recommended.

Essential basiic equipment for video cameras
Home video footage is often spoiled by hand shake. Ideally all video should be taken using a tripod but where this is impractical, a monopod is much better than nothing. Read more
