you don't feel its safe for holding the camera

bottom lock dose not not stay lock and you don't feel its safe for holding the camera without your control.

Great but with ONE flaw

The quick release plate doesn't play well with some larger cameras. For instance, using it with my GH5 with the battery grip on makes it impossible to tighten down to the fluid head since I can't turn the screw all the way to tighten it down with the camera on it. I had to add another quick release plate to create enough space to tighten it. It works, but it's far from ideal.

How well will this work with Nikon D780 & Nikon 200-500mm lens?
Asked by: S.E.
The Benro Classic Video Monopod with S2 Pro Flat Base Fluid Video Head has a maximum load capacity of 5.5 lb (2.49 kg). The combined weight of the Nikon D780 DSLR Camera and the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Lens is 6.92 lb (3.14 kg). As such, I would not recommend using the Nikon D780 DSLR Camera and the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Lens on the Benro Classic Video Monopod with S2 Pro Flat Base Fluid Video Head.
