  1. Aaron Cope

    Bulky, cumbersome.
    With that much awkward bulk it should be much more stable. I’ll be looking to replace this one with something more reasonable to size/bulk/stability. Pretty positive this review will not be posted though, with zero reviews for such a prolifically marketed product and zero reviews I should’ve known there would be disappointment.
