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!!

I recently purchased this to attach my camera to a c-stand for overhead product shots. I need something to screw the head into that would fit on the c-stand arm. Does anyone know what I could use?

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.

If I understand right, yes you can do what you with a Oben 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 Reducer Bushing. I downsized with this to the standard tripod 1/4-20 on my tripod legs.
