However once its settled on the stand feet prior to the quick lift and tug it goes up pretty quick. A lot easier than some of the heavy metal I've had on centrestands out there. I think the initial lift/stand/tug feels like a lot of effort is needed as there appears to be little mechanical leverage with the stand (as its very short) but once going the short stand also means the movement needed is pretty small. Short and sharp ...
That would make me very nervous indeed!
