Myself, I like the sprint pro. I have had no problems with stability. it is lightwright, and when the legs are totally extended, I could see in a very strong wind it may sway some when set up as tall as it will go. I inserted a hook into the bottom to hang weight onto also. If I need more stability I use the weight and also splay the legs out farther. It has 3 different "settings" to widen the legs out. It has, by the way, only 3 sections in the legs.
One fun thing...you can turn over the center post and it can hang your camera upside down, over something (shots over holes, etc.).
Something else Iam looking to rig up, is a shoulder strap or something. It is the perfect size that I carry the camera on it, with the tripod tucked under my right arm, and it adjusted to where I can hold it right up to my eye for more stable handheld shots (whil walking, etc.)
