I had bought the stand as my second in front of my summer. There and since I like it very much and was used for the application (!) Very very satisfied. It's not the most stable tripod in the world, but that nobody can expect at this weight and the price (+). However, it is very light, very flexible (three excerpts, fold-down center column) and thus a perfect match for me as a second tripod. It is also relatively quite stable and suitable for long exposures, provided it is not too bad winds.
