The small footprint of this scale, when folded, is narcotic. It will allow storage and transportation very easy. Two caveats to note: - The soundness of the scale when deployed looks very good but all the same it will bend a little. It is safe but stability will suffer - Be careful of the well folded and stored dry after use, it is sometimes I let deployed, and rain water rushed into the lower tubes, which makes it a bit hard folding during several weeks the time that the water is completely evacuated. For occasional use, these unpleasantness are quite acceptable, and it is then an excellent choice.
