Q: 7. Can you use this to hold a monopod in place in a tight area

A: Not that I can envision with my monopods. Yes, you could use the clamp to grip onto something but by itself the other side of the Avenger is only suitable for small diameter shafts like a gobo or a C-stand stud. The diameter of all my monopods are way too big to fit the knuckle-end of the Avenger D2

Q: 9. Is the junior receiver (Female) directly above the mounting pin, or is it offset like the avenger and kupo 4.5 grip heads?
