The Statif is quite stable and you can also super infinitely adjustable. But once my work light has fallen as I stayed with another extension cord attached to one leg, because nothing happened except the upper bracket slightly bent were again just :) The second fall with very strong wind (error of my feet were not quite moved apart) has not completely survived since the upper cross member is pulled out of the telescopic pole. After tinkering something I built a new holder and the same slightly strengthened now she holds back. From the price / performance side I would buy this work lamp again.
