I have a like new Manfrotto 681B monopod and 3229 swivel tilt head with quick release plate. It was used probably three times and has sat in the closet ever since. Price is $80 shipped.

How easily does the plate release? I've heard some mixed reviews about the 'pod and, since I'm looking for one, would like your feedback- what's the biggest lense you've used on it? Stable?
Edit: Errr, what I meant to ask was do you find yourself nailing the quick release lever? Is it locked or lockable?
I haven't had any problems with it, but I only used it a couple of times. The biggest lens I used on it was a 70-200 f/4L, which is relatively light. The only reason I'm selling it is I sold the 70-200 and don't really have a need for a monopod. I mostly shoot landscapes, architecture and night photos so I end up just using my tripod.
