That's in the studio. A flimsy tripod with you in the field is better
than a heavy tripod you left at the car because it was too heavy to carry.
"A flimsy tripod with you in the field" is simply useless, extra weight
to carry. By definition "flimsy" won't get the job done. You'd actually
be better off leaving it in the car.
A tripod does not have to be too heavy to carry in order to be sturdy.
That's why I specified "good" is the same as "sturdy" rather than "heavy".
In the studio, I'd use a mono stand.
