Heavy and wobbly for stock tripods

Well I don't use a camera tripod that often and when I do I prefer a good tripod. I had a project where I had to hoist the camera over a corn field, which isn't going to happen anytime soon since it's back on Revain. The design is brilliant and versatile as I spent money on a tripod. to replace all my tripods for $35 or less and extra height. It was like a cat meowing. Especially since it was a direct competitor to my swamp pod, it looked like it would be even sturdier and easier to set up. The bog capsule has no central support or locks do not reach to the legs. However, problems arose with the design itself. The zippers were a bit difficult to open, the legs got stuck when taking them off and it wobbled! I traced the swing back to the rubber feet. This thing bounces back and forth like a feather. I've tried it on multiple surfaces with and without a camera, I've also tried hanging weights on a hook, no effect. If it was built a little better, the only thing I wouldn't like was the monopod. At 5ft 10in, the top height adjustment was too low (below my waist) for me to easily adjust. low. I use a lot of bipeds so the idea of adjusting the legs is pretty simple, but it seems like too much adjustment. It is a pity. It weighed more than I thought compared to the specs. Since it's terrible to carry it over long distances, I thought maybe it could handle small gusts of wind. I wish it would work, its versatility is very attractive and I have yet to find another brand that offers something similar.
