Moving the monopod instead of the head to compose pictures quickly becomes natural. Panning to catch the action is never a problem -- just rotate the whole monopod. I did find that there was some tendency for the head to slightly unscrew from the tripod at these times, but only a partial turn, and never so much as to affect stability.
I find it quick and easy to swing the head 90 degrees to either side for portrait-oriented pictures. The head stops at 90 degrees, so I don't have to fiddle around locking it or trying to hold it in position if I need to take a quick shot.
This would not be a good head for movies or if you aren't typically shooting with the the lens fairly level (like capturing birds in trees). Thus I wouldn't use it, for example, for basketball or volleyball shots. But for most field sports, cross country, baseball, tennis, etc. --- it provides better support and ease of use than a ball head. This is a serious piece of hardware, and requires a serious monopod -- a lightweight ball-head would be a better match for a lightweight monopod.
A monopod head is required to do a proper stance and have everything locked in position. You want the monopod at a slight angle in front of you and without the head the lens would be pointing up... this allows a sturdy position and still be able to frame the shot how you want it.
I did receive an open package and can only guess that it was a return. The head still looked brand new and all of the parts and pieces were there so no real complaints. I don't know why anyone would return this head, it's a quality product and necessary for proper use of the one legged wonder. Their loss!
Works well, but do realize it does NOT tilt forward and back -- you are supposed to tilt your monopod for that direction.
A few negatives:
Not all Manfrotto heads use this quick release plate, so it MIGHT NOT be interchangeable with other Manfrotto heads.
The head has no vertical stop so you need to use your eyes to level the camera and then snug the knob down.
There is no level on the head so you need to use your eyes to level the camera for all shots.
The head is a bit large and heavy.
The knob sticks out on one side and the quick release sticks out on the other making the head quite wide and preventing it from slipping into (or out of) a backpack or camera bag easily.
I just carried this around Europe for three weeks. I tried using it for night shots, but the long exposures really required a tripod. I really needed a small tripod for selfies too. I tried to use the monopod for long telephoto images of the tops of cathedrals, but I couldn't tilt the monopod back far enough to be helpful. Overall, the monopod was entirely useless on this trip, but that is not a fault of the head.
I will be backpacking a few weeks later this summer and might take the monopod then, we'll see.
I haven't tried it in the field yet, but so far it's giving me confidence that it will be good for my travel photography and for use at big dog shows.
It needs to support a Canon 70D, 18-200 zoom and motor drive (which is a reasonable weight) and it appears to do so well.
