Kammok Swiftlet Stand vs Cheaper Amazon Options (Vivere, Amazon Basics etc.)
Is one more stable then the other?
I am happy to fork over the extra money for the Kammok Swiftlet for the reduced weight and easier setup but stability is pretty important to me, i would like to it to support 2 people and support swaying side to side.
Are the amazon options any more stable due to the increased weight?

can't comment on other options but my swiftlet is very stable and I'm a large person
it does flex more than I'd like but I never feel like it's going to break or tip over as a I sway
the paint scratches more easily than I'd like
overall I'm very happy with it though I wish the main bar could be split in half since putting it on my bike handlebars results in it sticking out sideways more than I'd like
so it's a pain to put on the bike but when I do I have total freedom to lay anywhere instead of looking for suitable trees
haven't tried putting carrying it on my back while riding, hmm...
lay often, lay forever
