I Have a bagman support and I find that after some minor rework it is quite solid. I adjusted the bends of the rod to suit my country bag better. I also made an indent in the rod that the set screw seats in (I think I used a drill). Before doing that I did have problems with the rod working its way out of the clamp, but since then it has held great.
