I've got that one, second hand for £10 or something. Good enough for me.

I've used Park ones and still had to take it out for BB/cranks

I've had an Edinburgh Cycles knock-off of that for almost 10 years. Apart from an issue with the height adjustment clamp being a bit shit, I've had no problems. The issue was that the upper section used to slide back down into the lower bit when cranks were turned or other things introducing some vibration into the system. I solved it by scoring the clamping section and putting in some carbon paste to add a bit of friction. Fine now.

We absolutely batter these as our mobile stands and they hold up to a lot, they're not as good as a heavier Park job (this incarnation is bikehand the one before was fatspanner) but they put up with a lot of use and abuse and bodge repairs to the mechanism. More than good enough for home use and quick and easy to fold and store.
