If you're short on space, this a handy little device to have as an alternative to have stands cluttering the floor and getting in the way, potentially being a trip hazard.
The joy of the Triad Orbit system is its versatility. Combining the different elements, you can make whatever you wish, within reason.
The downsides. They are expensive for what they are, but ultimately, they of a high quality and last for many years. Another downside I experienced was that the blue rubber within the clamp soon became damaged after little use. This now results in leaving scratches/marks on whatever I'm clamping onto, unless I use some padding of my own which then results in the clamp not gripping quite as well.
Overall, I'm happy with it. It's proved very useful so far and I would highly recommend the Triad Orbit systems to those who are perhaps short on space.
