Customer Reviews

ok budget tripod but too weak for flipcharts
Plusses:
* Box only 1'4" long, extremely compact
* Puts itself together like a robot spider in 3 seconds (!)(fun to watch!)
* Full 64" tall
* Plastic 2" toggle-arms slide up/down then lock into place to adjust height that display is supported at

Minuses:
* The plastic snaps on the support toggle-arms are made of a weak, hard vinyl-like plastic that does not lock well. Light foam core or a single piece of cardboard should be OK. However, even a full-sized 2.5' Post-it notepad is just barely too heavy for the support arms, causing the snap to not lock properly and sag. This results in the support-arm quietly slipping down the tripod leg. The snaps have to be engineered to extremely tight tolerances for them to work well without binding during adjustment but catch while holding on after snapped. If the plastic shrinks after cooling, the tolerance gets lost. Needs better material engineering or some kind of rubber on the snaps to hold them in place.

* I'm concerned about the fraying on the bungee cords rubbing against the raw metal ends of the tubes. Cords showed fraying and tube ends showed rust even after one month of usage. I guess the elastic cords might not last two or three years.

*Always the same height. No telescoping. No tray. No clip at top.

Overall: Good for foam core but not much else. I'm keeping mine in my briefcase as an emergency backup, in case my heavy-duty tripod disappears.

Easy to use and carry.
This easel is easy to carry in a briefcase. Sets up and folds down quickly due to bungee cord action! Just like the prior review stated, I wouldn't use this for anything too heavy. It is sturdy, but not heavy-duty.

light, compact, internal bungee cords
easily taken up and down thanks to internal bungee cords--like a tent pole. i would not put anything too heavy on it, though. i just use it for foam poster boards.
