I have never used it so there is nothing like it. But it worked great for my purpose. I threaded the end of a 1/4" 3-piece aluminum rocket launcher rod so I can use the threaded socket to mount it on a standard camera tripod as a launch pad. I haven't fired rockets from it yet, but I have it on mounted on a tripod with a deflector, and it is clear that it will be quite fashionable in the field. Turn other things into items that can be mounted on a tripod. :)
