Random Thoughts
The Pro Classic model is essentially the same stand with quick releases on the tripod and height adjustment. It comes in a nice looking red color
The Pro Elite also offers a quick release head for the clamp.
Stand will hold up to 65 lbs.
Tripod is very stable when full extended. Make sure the bike is secure and stable before beginning any service or repair.
Carrying bag is an option, but I did not see it necessary.
Watch your fingers when opening and closing the tripod. I did manage to get my fingers pinched when not paying attention.
