The little adapter that was supposed to hold the flashlight doesn't fit and the whole idea of lighting your work becomes pretty much useless. Luckily I have 3D printers and CAD software so I can create something that works (and is better than their implementation anyway), but the thing is I wouldn't have to do that. as if that would be an adequate setup for my purposes. I was planning on tying it to something heavier from the start, so I don't care if it's "inherently" stable or not, but I can definitely see how important a heavier base could be to other people could. Keep that in mind when considering this option.
