Have been looking at this very model for 2 newest bikes listed below in signature.

How do you like it?
How stable?
Any downsides to this "euro" style?

Appears it collapses like a camera tripod. Lighter than older models as 3 feet more stable than 2.
Would be light and compact enough to keep in car.

Park stand I currently have is traditional spring loaded clamp which is too tight a grip for brittle/thin carbon and alloy. It is similar to following model (about 10 years old). Very heavy. Does not collapse. Does not fit in car. Can't remember the part #, and am not at home to look.

Tarmac has down sloping odd shaped top tube. Does not lend itself to use in clamp style workstand above.
