Tripod contact with the stand and very secure Quick release is a good idea but if you don't use a set screw is not tight enough for my liking has to loosen the screw every time i want to move monitor (3 or more times a week) is extra fatigue i wanted something that i feel more secure with but still easy to implement adapter grommet for SSA2 -Speaker stand on stage Install SSA2 speaker stand adapter grommet on stage and tighten clamp, secure with gravity while standing on top of column.
