About materials and workmanship you can not complain considering the price; High quality really expected would be unfair. The thing works; dissuade would have probably just someone who wanted to deal with it every day in professional use. The locking screw of the socket thread could grab a little more; so the part can just make sufficiently firmly mounted on a tripod. The locking of the flash foot seems a bit primitive (one wants something that clicks with rich-click), it keeps the flash but bombproof.
