Lightweight enough to strap to my pack without noticing it, and the aluminum shaft hasn't bent even after a windy weekend at the lake. The 78-inch height gives my tarp plenty of headroom to actually sit under.

The two-inch grommet tip fits my tarp's eyelet fine, but the aluminum feels thinner than I'd like for the price. It works for calm days; I wouldn't trust it in a stiff wind.

The 78-inch height is good for my tarp setup and the aluminum feels light enough to carry, but the two-inch grommet tip doesn't hold as securely as I hoped on soft ground. It does the job, though I've had to readjust it a couple of times on windy nights.
