simple fix
I use the SS-P with my razor binoculars and spotting scope. Although I agree the quick release plate needs an alignment pin I found a simple and cheap work around. I took a piece of craft foam (like my wife and kids use for crafts and cards) cut it to shape with a razor and installed it between the release plate and the optic, like a gasket. Then finger tightened the plate. The added friction provided by the foam has kept the plate from loosening or moving.
Vortex if you use my work around send me some gear lol.

Tripod is awesome, quick release plate sucks.
I've had product for over a year. The tripod is great but the quick release plate is no good. It doesn't stay tight on spotting scope base . Eventually falls off if you don't watch it and tighten often. I have tried Loctite and that doesn't seem to help. Optics are awesome I just don't like the release plate.

Poor design
Won't hold your scope or camera from turning. Needs a second pin to prevent rotation. The summitt tripod is great, but the quick release plate isn't so good.
