works great I really like the quick release, I use it with 100-500 rf and my r6 m2 getting used to it worried it isn't strong enough to hold my gear ?

Monopod head OK but needs improvement

The monopod head is easy to use. However, the gasket doesn't hold tight and needs multiple adjustments during days of heavy use. I have ripped several of the rubber gaskets, which are very flimsy. When it loosens, the camera lens spins and doesn't sit firmly on the monopod. Very frustrating!!

Does the screw on the top of this head fit a point-and-shoot camera? Or does it only fit a (D)SLR?

Yes, the screw on the top of this head will fit point and shoot cameras. It uses the industry standard 1/4 -20 thread size which is the size photo cameras use.
