What model is best? The basic (yellow) one or the red one with adjustable legs? What clamps are the most used?

It depends on your needs. I chose the red with adjustable legs for versatility. I modified my clamps with longer bolts to secure larger items. I was also able to find the red one on Amazon for $80. I have only had to use the hold down clamps for my needs. Hope that helps.

I'm afraid I cannot tell whether a model with adjustable legs is better. Though I ordered a mode with adjustable legs, the product delivered was in fact the model without adjustable legs. I've been advised the seller advertised the wrong model ... The model I purchased was shipped with a toggle clamp, but I think a quick change bar clamp should be a better choice, not sure if this is sold separately.

Adjustable legs are better. Clamps are plastic and not durable. I made my own. However, I would not recommend this product. It is only a heavy duty "card" table.

I'm over 6 ft 4" tall so I bought the adjustable leg model. Works fine for me. I haven't used any of the clamps but as another responder said, would put in my own larger bolts if I was going to use them for any heavy work.

First off the legs DO NOT lock at multiple positions. Either full out or in. The seat can be used either way. Check out the you tube from walkstool. As for the height, that's a matter of preference. I'm 6'7" tall and bought the 30" stool because I have a bad knee and getting up from a lower seat is difficult. The 30" allows me to practically sit while standing. The 18" works but standing up is hard.

I completely agree with Sandalsallyearlong, I had the 5914 and with all of the flimsy plastic parts, it broke after the second use. I got the 7411 after a lot more research, and have had no problems with it. However, I don't take it up and down the stairs. I think for the extra $50 you can't go wrong with the more sturdy 7411.

Very easy. Leg locks are easy to manipulate; simply unlock a leg and adjust length until level. Built-in bubble level makes it convenient also.

I amsure you will find alot of different ones:) the unique w/ this one is the Velcro non slip fastening system. That makes it very easy to fasten on the very most models:)

I remember reading in the descriptions of the regular and the super...that the one with springs adjusts itself as it drains the tofu. The one without would need periodic adjusting to keep pressure on the block which facilitates the process. I opted for the super with springs and I love it!

I have the two leg model that my son uses in the shooting house. We love it because you can leave the gun up the whole time without touching or having to hold it. We could not do that with the three leg model because you have to extend the legs so far out

I find the weisner clamp as good as it gets. Slipping is not a big problem, sometimes does, but depends on activity. Sitting for ling periods can make it slide off, but really not that often. I've tried everything else. This works.

I would go with the flex 2. The people that purchase flex 3's are girls or guys that want a lot of flex in their deck. At 180 pounds I'd say the flex 2 is what your looking for

I use mine daily. It's nice to have one. The one that came in my kit is adjustable and makes it really easy to switch heights for different exercises.

I use a standard pneumatic barstool which worked great at both heights for me (currently w/ leg extensions). I like slightly different heights for different angles. It's just more flexible when getting the exact position you want.

Originally I used a snare stand (not recommended),it wouldn't sit still.You have to get the mount for the back of the unit,various prices available.I found a straight bar w/clamp on top that fits in an old pearl cymbal stand for about $40.Depending on what your mounting it to,your looking at another $50 to $100 in purchases.I found it well worth it.

I agree with Hernandez and Moss. Make sure the bipod is the newer clamp redesign as the older model had a nasty habit of snapping open.

I only used the Wiesner clamp a few times, for two reasons. 1) Due to the design of the lower pad support, I could keep it on only about 3 hours. After that it became painful. 2) one time my normal movements caused the clamp to tighten up to a painful and probably dangerous level. I believe these problems can be fixed, but it will take some time and experimentation. I have switched to Dribblestop, which works well after you learn how to set it's size properly. I could write a pamphlet about that, but it was worth the trouble of figuring out how to use it.

Each of the legs is pulled out by the user to the extent desired and secured with the clamps. This is important because often it will be used on a slope, where the rear leg needs to be shorter than the front pair. It only takes a few seconds to pull out or push in the legs to the length desired.

It comes with a clamp. I have it clamped onto a table that is one inch thick and I have never had to adjust it.

"C" clamps should work well. There is a side lip to get under to clamp from above and below table's surface.
