I put a Sony mini DV cam on this in a ferociously strong wind (ok I did put it behind my car so it didnt take the full impact of the wind) but still, it did a great job of holding the camera and also has a lot of flexibility in terms of how the legs are configured in relation to the head and centre column. As with other Manfrotto pods, this little unit is great to have as a second or third pod. I wouldnt only rely on it, but for light shoots, its fantastic.
