So I bought the package when I bought the RRS collar. I did not try it when I first received it, BUT last week I remembered I had it and I wanted to try it. I had not tested to see if there was any droop when you loosed the collar to allow for rotation. I can definitely say that as you loosen the collar, there is a slight amount of droop. So, I setup the LS-1 and while in place the support definitely stops the droop. For my style of shooting, I am not sure if I will use it all the time. While on a tripod I may, but in my day to day, hand holding or on a monopod, I don't plan on it.
