A quote from the instructions: \"VEVOR\" reserves a clear interpretation of our user manual.\" There is probably a bit lost in translation, but I like to think that whoever made the instructions is just trolling. I'm still giving 5 stars because the product itself doesn't deserve to be penalized for the quality of the instruction booklet. The rig is very sturdy and stable, and will do what I'm looking for. The instructions, however, are some of the worst I've ever come across! They read like they were made by a high-schooler in 2001. The editor and photographer should both quit their jobs in shame. The only good thing is that they mostly tell you what parts to use at each step. The rest is basically up to you to figure out, so get out the ol' magnifying glass and be ready to spend a lot more time that you might think to budget. Step 3 in the booklet is especially awful. Product is good though.
