Just looking for some honest reviews on this pod

I've heard the front legs might fold if you get a screaming take

Or does this only happen if your clutch is to tight

Cheers guys

I'll answer your pm here incase it helps others.

I've had this pod a while now and although I don't need to use it much I like it when I do. It's light, quick to set up and pack down and is very compact when packed away. I think it was about £60 when I bought it so not expensive.

The only issue I've had is not long after buying it one of the twist lock things that is used to extend the centre bar came unglued. This means it is now able to spin round. If I hold the back the whole front section will rotate and vise versa. My fault for not sending it back to get sorted.

The best thing I did was buy some anchor feet for it. I cut down some bivvy pegs to a couple of inches and when in use is rock solid sorting the previously mentioned problem.

For a budget pod I like it.

Yeah I like it, the legs literally lock into position so that won't be an issue, also what I've done is get some screw pointed bank sticks that fit and secure the pod that way, if on suitable ground, of course, but I found I just don't bother using the pod now if the ground is suitable.

Overall a great looking and functional pod 👍🏼
