Would it stay up well if placed on pavement (using tripod base)?

As long as there is no wind gusts it will be fine. Because it's light it tends to tip over when it's real windy. Personally I prefer the sportbrella... It is larger and provides more shade, but this works okay for two person coverage.

Yes, it should stay up well. I think this might be the best way to use it. I have had mine for a while now and seldom use it, and the few times I did use it was at my son's sporting events----but the last time I used it the tension in the pole positioning the umbrella to remain as I placedit was not as tight and the umbrella would slide. Just an FYI.

Yes, it stays up very well. We have used the umbrella on cement and even grass. The legs are long enough that the umbrella stays very stable. (unless it's quite windy). I can't say enough good things about this umbrella. We love it and have used it at many sporting events from swimming & water polo to baseball.

Yes as long as the umbrella wasn't tilted and windy. I always put something heavy on the legs to help stabilize it when I tilt it.

I think so. I would recommend using ground stakes to keep it well anchored to the ground.

Doubtful unless you set it into a portable concrete base. It is designed to be driven into the ground and even with 3 ground spikes will loosen with use and require moving.

Yes, you can. It has it's own tripod stand, it does not get anchored into the ground.

Absolutely. It moves 360 degrees and would fit easily on a tripod leg. Great idea.

Not at all. Should take quite a while. However it does dig into the ground a bit. So it is not loose above the ground.

not likely to be at a angle you want, it will be very tippy on the small base. If you got a piece of say 4x4 plywood and drilled a hole in it and put some feet under it you could put a bolt into the base and it would be stable with a normal camera. Not sure you want to do that much work.

Yes, but it is designed to be staked into the ground for stability in wind or other weather, so you may want to weight the legs with sandbags or something heavy.

We have ours on cement for bike storage. I would think so if put on grass and auger's used to secure.

I'm using the tripod - and have some reasonably heavy equipment on it ( digial camera + telephoto lens ) and i took some long exposures that were fine. Clearly one of the main factors is weight but i have had no stability concerns.

It will support? YES It will wobble? probably I think it is to much weight for this tripod. better look for another (more sturdy) tripod.

Yes it will stay level. For best results you need to get your tripod VERY level. Adjusting the length o the legs can be tedious. There are various accessories to fit between the tripod and the head (this product is essentially a type of head, after all) that will make the job easier. Note that an iPhone with a leveling app can be a very accurate way of measuring how level the tripod is.

I doubt it. I would recommend propping the camera up on something or on a tripod.

NO! It will not bear the weight of that. The plastic leg locks will break and collapse, already tried it, don't risk an expensive camera on a cheap one-use tripod like this.

It would require a level spot, you can use it on an incline to help support the weight of the camera and sense but you would need to hold on to it.

It's pretty stable. Especially if you make sure that the boom arm is directly above one of the legs. The longer you make the boom, the more tippy. With the arm 1/2 way extended or less, you should have no problems outdoors.

It pans from the base so the resulting footage may not be the same as what you would expect from a tripod. There may be a slight back/front/side to side swing, depending on your body movement. For me, that would seem natural and that's a good thing.
