Grand Trunk Compass 360 ° Stool (Sea Black)

Purchased for nature photography after using a foldable stadium seat pad for years. While the stadium seat pad worked, it was directly on the ground and did not rotate. The Grand Trunk seat easily rotates and elevates you off the ground. At first I thought that the seat was a little too low but quickly realized that it was a good height allowing me to rest my elbows on my knees which helps steady the camera and makes supporting a large lens much easier. Note that it does get easier putting the seat on after using the seat once or twice. Only negative would be that the legs will sink in soft ground- slightly wider feet would help. But for weighing only one pound I can't complain much.

It took me at least an hour to stretch the denier nylon seat to fit on the three bars/poles. Spins 360° smoothly and can take my weight of 180lbs. with ease. I was hoping that the sitting area would stay in place when it was taken-down and packed back into the convenient storage bag. I'll leave it set up for the week since rain is forecast, so I'm hoping it will stretch a little bit to remove it, and it should be easier to get on and off with each use. Having bone cancer comes with a loss of strength, but either way, it shouldn't be that difficult to slip the poles into the strongly re-enforced holes. Very well built and it should stretch enough over the week to make attaching the seating area much, much easier. Overall, I would recommend this little seat to everyone. Much better than lugging around my much bigger nylon/pole seat with arm back rests and cup holders meant for camping.

I purchased this stool primarily to use in my garden, it has not disappointed me. Additionally, I will use it to sit during 'non stadium' soccer games as it's light and portable. Another satisfied customer!
