Not convinced stability wise, even with the adjustable three rod bars closed the outer reels are overhanging the base by some way.

Mine came with the extendable 6 inch legs, bought 4 stubby legs after...
Then its more stable with the wider legs.
for 2 rod setups its stable enough with the stubby's.

It has if you put 5 inch adjustable legs on which makes it far more versatile and stable also the summit uprights are a lot wider making a 3 rod set up much more stable

Can see no advantages in have the reels so close together as in the pic I posted only disadvantages.

Think that I nabbed that picture from Facebook. I do like the look of it, and I do wonder whether three rods would sit on it, but checking the P1 front and back bars they are 9.5, 10.5 inches just like my current set up, so I know they will.
How stable is it when you are fishing locked up, does it move and can it be anchored?

No, the poster ment that the Summit.pod hasn't a ratchet system like the Solar ones have on the legs. Summit pods are set at a specific angle, totally different mate 👍

They've got two anchor points, one on the front of the main bar leg section and the same on the back. For best anchorage I'd say use tent pegs on all four legs 😁

Anyone bought the mini ww?

I think you have talked me out of it with your point about stability, my existing pod is rock solid in that respect, and looking at it again, is there much difference from the standard compact WW P1?
I am going to wait until I see one in the flesh and go from there.

Just looks like they have made a good pod worse by making it more narrow and less stable. Unless you are fishing big weedless bowls with the clutch loose I don't get these small pods.
Are the Solar P1 Compact WW Pods any good. I'm in the market for a pod but want the ability to turn it into snag bars if needed and also to use longer bank sticks in the shallow water occasionally.

I've just got the standard Worldwide and really like it. The only thing I don't like are their banksticks. I think that the likes of JAG or even Summit's ones are better. Not keen on the tightening collar malarkey at all as when you're loosening the legs to extend them, unless where the bankstick is screwed tight to the upright sections legs, it's easy for them to spin loose as I'm finding. Also, I'd much rather it be fully adjustable as in the four uprights where you attach your buzzbars, instead their fixed. Another thing I'd like to have seen is where the bankstick joint to make the leg section another adjustable joint - however that could be made - so as to narrow the splay of the legs if you're using storm rods as I intend to for deep margins. Fussy sod ain't I
All in all, a very good pod.
