How portable is this item and is it the same as the original one shown in silver?

You can fold it down but the bottom feet are threaded in. Easy to move around but not something I'd try to collapse down into my backpack.

It is easy to move but not fold down to a compact state. I believe it is the same as the silver.

It's very portable, and the red one is a newer version, made with stronger parts.

The item is made up of aluminum pipes and top platform. Longest part is the base tube which is about 30 inches long. Relatively speaking, most tedious part to assemble is the top platform but once you have put it together, there is no need to disassemble it when transporting. The pipes are joined by clamp type screws, there are three of them above the base. It should not take more than 3-4 minutes to take it apart or put it together. In that sense it is quite portable. I got the red one so I can't say much about the silver model. However, visually they look the same to me.

Yes, it is quite portable, but if you have heavy laptop, it wobbles. It is little difficult to fit in small place because it's legs are too long.

It's portable enough, serves the purpose, little bit of a large footprint, but that makes it stable, I believe it is the same as the silver one.

I purchased this item for my son, after putting it together he discovered it was so flimsy that working on it was impossible. It went back.

If you take it apart it will fit in a bag as long as it's about 36 inches or longer. Yes, it is the same as the silver unit.

It is just like the original with vertical sides and a top and bottom the same size. The picture just distorts its appearance.

YES! It is as large as the original, but much better viewing. I have not measured it, but it may be even slightly larger. You can see it in the photo.

Yes, I agree with the other two responses. It is very portable and a decent size. I love it and it is very convenient.

It's not super portable but I (female) have no problem scooting it around as I need. It does not fold up and go in a car or anything....

Hello,The obvious answer would be "the same as it does in the box"... Having said that, I found it very hard to move in the box because of its bulky size. Once I got it out of the box, it was much easier in the included carry bag. I would give a word of warning. The bag is not good quality and if you're storing in the elements, it will probably not hold up long. Inflated, I see this boat being a nightmare to try getting through doorways. Make sure of the boat diminsions also, it was a little larger than I had originally anticipated.

it's quite durable. I carry mine around and use it in cosplay (being a 1:1 scale prop replica as well) and I have dropped it a few times. it's fallen from my pocket and such. and so far I have had a few problems... the casing seems unscratched (by casing I mean the remote itself) although the software seems a bit glitchy (light and sound doesn't turn off after release of button, light doesn't turn on, light and sound have a long delay) after. all in all it still works though. so it will survive a fall out of a shirt pocket, and being shaken (though that's when the glitching starts)

I consider it quite portable, it is light weight, and we move it around the house all the time. I think it would travel well in a car, it is not huge or heavy. A good feature seems to be the way it doesn't drain the battery when left "on"... if no one is playing or it is not in auto play mode, it must shut down to preserve battery, even if you accidentally leave it in "on" position (which my granddaughter does all the time). We purchased the wall AC device but haven't ever felt a need to use it.

I would say it's light enough to be portable but I keep it in one location. No batteries.

It is quite small and would be really easy to transport. I had an old one for 15 year and it died so I got this new one and have been really happy with it.

It's generic, perfectly functional but a bit on the fragile side. Also a tidbit smaller than the original; otherwise it's perfect and looks like the original.

To be honest, I am not sure completely sure. I ordered this as a toy gift for my nephew rather than as a collectible, so I wasn't aware whether there were different versions of this. I think the one I ordered came with the items pictured in the additional photos, but I can't say for certain as I wasn't present when it arrived and was opened.

It is very portable when you fold it. I travelled with it from USA Africaand I just checked it in at the check in counter and picked it up when I got to my destination without stress.

It works just fine. That's what I use myself actually. I have the original but I had one from something else I had also, so I keep one at work & one at home.

It is the same physical size, but I believe it has a higher capacity. My first replacement lasted about 9 months before it required more frequent charging. Glisson days.

Yes, this is the one that comes with the silver loop. The loops are kinda big though.

The version that I got (I've heard of some people receiving different versions) is exactly like the one in the picture. Yes it is metal. It has been a great strobe I really need to order another one. Matter of fact I just used it this past Saturday and Sunday about 5 hours straight each day. And it works flawlessly. Oh and another thing it stays pretty darn cool as well and the fans that are in it are pretty quiet. Hope u enjoy it as much as I have!
