Title: Disappointing and not well designed
Product review: I just received this monopod as a gift and I am very disappointed. I tighten the quick shoe with a coin but my camera does not stay tightly attached to the monopod if you move the camera at all. To tighten the quick shoe again you have to release the shoe and then get out a coin and try again to tighten the screw. I don't think the quick shoe is saving any time, its increasing the time involved and very frustrating. Also a good quick shoe should indicate on the shoe where the front of the camera/lens should be and also indicate it on the positioning spot on the monopod.The handle is in the way most of the time. It appears to be well made and lightweight but the controls are not well thought out and its so annoying I am going to go back and use my old brocken down monopod that just has a screw on top so you just turn the monopod to screw it on...its much faster.
