Having bought this I have found it very stable and easy to use. You can grip together the gear adjust knob and the handle close to it and make large movements to quickly get the camera into roughly the right position. You can then get the fine adjustments by using the gear knobs. I've found it really good for Astromony shots and Moon photos, also for doing portrait shots. It is strong enough to hold the camera and my larger 100mm - 400mm zoom, but would probably say it is getting near it's weight limit for stable photos at that.
