Are the stakes like a tripod? Do you have to anchor them down or just sit it on concrete like a camera tripod?

It's like a tripod at the bottom. The sun has faded it and extreme winds have blown it away. You really have to hold it down. Mine is now faded out and banged up.

Yes it is a tripod and it is freestandingBest to anchor under windy conditions...ours flew off the pool deck and ended up on the golf course !Great product for portable shade

It flares out with the three "feet" almost touching the ground. I use it when I'm weeding because I can't stand the sun. I can just move it around with me. But if it is windy, I have a sand bag that I lay on one of the feet to hold it down.

Its much better if you hammer it into the ground. However, you can shoot a fair amount of rounds before it falls over if the ground is too hard. Also, the "stakes" are pretty round so if the ground is solid they wont go in easily.

You probably can attach a camera but not sure how. Fully extended, the pole bends under its' own weight somewhat but a small camera shouldn't bend it much more.

They come with metal pegs you can drill into the ground. We use it on our concrete driveway, drilled holes into the concrete and inserted the pegs, securing them with a washer. It's held down very securely.

I purchased this last summer. It comes with stakes and loops to put them through. I've had it set up on my lawn for the last several weeks (just using the stakes) and it hasn't budged, even when we had a brief hale storm. However, if you want to set it up on a deck, then yes you will need something to anchor it to the deck. Also, note it doesn't have a floor which makes sense when you think about it, but surprised me when I opened it.

It depends on the type of ground your setting up on, I would advise always bringing a hammer/mallet of some type. If you can't put the stakes in the ground you won't have a tent, this is not a setup in your living room for fun type of tent.

You mount these into two anchores that are cemented into the ground. They adjust with a scre and bolt system. you can also get reound metal covers that slide down around the base of the polls that hide the anchor mechanism.

None.. That's the beauty of it. Tripod. Side latched keep it centered along with chock and strap

Not very stable. It's very light. But it has a hook where you can hang something heavy to stabilize the tripod.

The same way you do with any tent. Put the stakes in the ground and feed them through the guides on the tent. Easy peasy.

You can anchor the legs with sand bag weights. I have used on a concrete driveway.

Yes, you definetly will need to anchor it into the ground. We attached 2x4's to the bottom and cemented it into the ground. It only took a few minutes.

It comes with stakes. They're the slim L-shaped aluminum stakes you usually see as pack-in stakes.

No it doesn't. I actually bought the heavy duty tent stakes that are used for large tents at weddings/events/etc and some rope to anchor mine down. It worked great and you only need 4. It's probably about the same price as those cheap sand weights, but worked better.

You could fabricate a tripod, just be sure it is wide enough to support it in the wind, Probably be easier to set it on the ground and build a triangle prop for it.

Either will work just fine! There is a place to screw in a tripod mount but I tend to place on a flat surface. It has rubber feet to help keep it from moving when on and playing.

Yes, It's a tripod. But dont' use it. Get a stable stand. The tripod is not stable
