Once the camera is adjusted to the "desired angle and tilt" as in the description, how is it locked into place?

It locks good into place. For the price and what it is, it's awesome. I took it on a cruise to the Caribbean and I used it the whole time. I even went snorkeling with. I had no problems.

It appeared to be adjustable but unfortunately our car was broken into and camera and accessories were stolen, so I really didn't get a chance to try it out.

just with tension. there is a little screw that tightens down on the arm to hold it in place. in all honesty, not amazing but it works. I have had some issues getting it to lock into place myself...but on the other hand it is really cheap.

It pulls out and twists to lock. There are 3 extensions and you can adjust each one to the length you want. It's fairly sturdy and I haven't had the camera rotate under it's own weight, even out of a moving car.

There is a adjustable clip lock on the strap that will prevent the camera from swinging forward.

There are two allen wrench screws in the plastic you need to loosen. They are very tiny. I wound up just very carefully tilting the camera by grabbing it and slowly working it down. ( I didn't have aa small enough allen wrench!) Just turn it slow and it should move.

There's no thumb screw to lock the position. The tilt is, as you say, via a ratchet type click mechanism. There is a large phillips head screw and nut that can adjust tension on the tilt, but it won't lock it in position. I found it best at a moderately firm tightness, that allows the head to easily tilt without sagging.

It swivels up and down. It can be rotated 90 degrees to give side to side adjustment, but the lens will then be be in a "portrait" orientation rather than a "landscape" orientation.

The tilt can be adjusted after mounting. There are set screws on either side of the top brackets. You'll need a long screwdriver, tiny hands and a flashlight though

The screw post is reversible on the top of the monopod. All you need to do is screw it into either the camera or if your using a telephoto lens with a lens collar- then into that. Some like to have a tilting head attached but to me it makes it too easy to have an accident. When your holding the monopod- the entire rig is attached to it so its steady and secure

Hi Joe, the camera would be fixed at the end. The angle of the camera will change as you adjust position but it does not slide relative to its position on the jib.

It just stays in one position. You can adjust the position, but once set, it stays there.

The little button on the wiring that you see in the picture is an adjuster to position the camera to the fixed angle that you prefer

Only to the extent that obviously you cannot flip it around and tilt all the way down and face it to the front of the camera. Other than that it does not interfere.

You can manually tilt it but it does not do any of the other things. There has been times when we have moved the camera then when the kids are sleeping we have realized it's not on the kids. Kind of a pain, we have to creep into the room to move it.

Twist lock -- then it extends. It seems good and tight/secure, but I haven't extended it much. I have not noticed the camera rotating, but as I said, normally I just use it at the collapsed length.

Mine does tilt but it was VERY stiff to change angle. Just tried it again and was able to adjust but still very stiff

Whatever you adjust the angle to. There is an adjustable hinge on the mounting stem that tightens/locks when you tighten the Phillips head bolt.

It has small adjustment screws on the slider to help reduce wobble. If loose, it wobbles a little, but it can be tightened as desired to minimize wobble. I haven't tried it yet with a camera to determine how cleanly it works.
