Looks interesting, is it stable enough for location use?... I actually use this one. Lightweight, with a large surface and adjustable height. Best of all, it folds flat for packing and storage.

I don't know. I don't shoot tethered outside the studio. It weighs 14lbs, so it's very beefy.

Yeah, laptops require something a little strange. ;-)

Okay, I use this table for tether use when doing interiors or product /food shoots. Usually on location for food and obviously for interiors and architecture. For me, light and sturdy is good. Also useful around the house for tethering or just additional work space. Because of what I shoot, I don't need a dedicated studio.

Useful suggestion especially considering the very high cost of tables from TetherTools.

I made something close to that in my garage except I used the wheel from a car for the base and mine stood about4 1/2 feet tall. I used it for a laptop stand in my garage until the one day that it tipped over and damaged the power port on my laptop...

Attach a flat surface to an old tripod (Lightweight and versatile). Most photographers have a cheap old tripod or two.

Dude, a bit overkill, don't you think?
