Seriously. Since I've really never used one and I'm researching them now what do you not like about it?
A folding version of the rock sturdy stand would, well, rock. That would be EXACTLY what I'd be looking for: stable under load even to the extent that you could blend a smoothie!

The problem with this particular stand is that, when you're loaded, you have to somehow manually pull the stand up on the right AND on the left without your loaded rig tipping over; each stand is independent of the other. From what I gather, you can either twist each stand up and somehow hold or velcro it against your Freeloaders, or you have to physically remove each one and toss them in your Freeloader. Either method seems too cumbersome and potentially dangerous depending on your load.
