niall441 ..... until the wind really picks up and it pitches inner first, which is not great in really bad weather. They are expensive mate, I agree. The quality and customer support is second to none though. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8KiqJ1W4lsE.html. Look towards the end of the film. I’d put money on the Soulo being fine in those conditions mate. This is where the extra cost comes into it. Most people will never need a Hilleberg but when the weather turns, you’ll find out where the extra cost comes into play 👍🏻
I have a friend with an MSR elixir 1. He loved that tent until this summer. He got caught in a storm in Norway and this MSR elixir 1 failed. It turned into a swimming pool while he was trying to pitch it, and the strong wind was also too much for it. The tent couldn't protect him from the rain and the wind simply because of the design. He was soaking wet and super cold. He ended up breaking into a hut where he was stranded 3 days. MSR elixir is good in countries where the weather is more predictable than in Britain or Scandinavia. Here in Norway, this design is just not the right choice in my opinion. Because of the lighter weight and the lower price I bought an Akto, although I like freestanding tents more. Thank you for the video!
Yours is one of the best reviews of both these tents that I have watched. Good to have a comparison as to the relative strengths and drawbacks of each. I have had an Akto for 8 years now and have just bought a used Soulo for non-hiking use
I do cycle touring and the Soulo is my tent of choice. I live in Iceland and it gets really windy here most of the time with some severe gusts. I routinely see some tents being marketed as "UL expedition level" being flattened, breaking poles and getting ripped apart in some of the summer gusts here while my Soulo stays solid as a rock. I was contemplating the Akto, but went for the Soulo because of the three pole and the shape of it. The three crossing poles will help keep its shape during high winds and I think the shape of the Soulo offers a bit more of useable interior room because of the more vertical walls, even though it is measured smaller than the Akto. The interior height was also important to me as I measure just over 6"2" but relatively short legs and long torso so my sitting position towers over most people. I would never be able to sit upright in the Akto and even the interior of the Soulo sometimes brushes against my head. The only thing I would like to see on my Soulo is the ability to draw the flysheet up from the ground to increase ventilation. I have fixed this just by placing some object between the ground and flysheet to push it up, but would like that mechanism to be integrated into the tent. I also have to say that Hilleberg themselves do not recommend compressing their tents in a bag even without the poles. They discourage that because they say that zippers can get damaged. A great video to learn about the differences between two very capable tents.
Finally 😂. If you get over the vestibule size (which is very much usable) you won't be disappointed Martin. Those extra few inches of headroom and stability in high winds make up for it. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Really enjoyed that Jiffy, thank you. Not only was it highly entertaining ('My Family & Other Animals" outtakes in particular!) but it was very thorough, clear and truthful. I've had a Soulo for just over a year now, love it to bits, but thought it may be overkill in better conditions (especially given the weight/size) so I splashed out on an Enan a few weeks ago, which as you know is the three season varaint of the Akto - only even more pricey! Yet to use it in anger of course given the lockdown, and I don't even have a garden to try it... champing at the bit to give it a go! Keep safe mate. Rich.
Cheers Rich. The Enan is a good choice and I was tempted a few months ago but went for the Niak so that my Son can come with me sometimes. It took me all day to film this because of George (Cockerel) 😂. Look forward to seeing you out in the Enan (soon hopefully). Keep safe mate - Jiffy 👍🏻
Fantastic video , thanks for taking the time to show the two tents . I am interested in both of them its just the cost that is making it a hard choice . Here in Sweden they have recently started a campaign where you can rent a tent , so will probably go down that route first.
Excellent review. Going solo has done a video double poleing. I have a “thing” about tents ever since we had a catastrophic failure of old equipment in summer at Mt Kosciusko at 2000m. Huge storm and had to use the emergency hut. Did the same walk using a tunnel tent and yet another storm. No issues. (Nice chooks too lol)
I own both as well, both in red. What i like so much is that the bags are not super tight, you don’t have to force compressing the tent tissue after a frosty are wet night.
I wanted to upgrade from my Wolfskin Gossamer 2 to a true 4-season tent for a while. I was indifferent between the Soulo and Unna, but went for the Unna based on availability (you’re lucky if you get any of the red labels now, sold out here in Scandinavia everywhere). After a few winter trips with the Unna so far, I’m really happy with my choice. The fact that it’s high enough (I’m 184cm) to sit upright over longer periods when you can’t be outside due to weather, and the massive space that you have inside, makes winter camping so much more enjoyable. It’s not really fair to compare it to the Gossamer 2 due to price and purpose (Gossamer is not a winter tent), but the Unna turned winter camping from “Oh dear, I hope it doesn’t get too cold and windy” to “bring it on!” 😀 And if you put the Unna into a dry bag/compression sack, the pack size becomes much more manageable (putting the poles in a seperate bag, of course). I assume this will be the first and last 4-season tent I’ll ever need to buy (it better be for the price).
very useful information and in great depth, i have gone over not less than a dozen video talking about different tents but none were like yours. Big thumbs up ! Cheers
Thank you Harry, I hope you found it useful. I looked for something similar but couldn’t find one, so thought I’d make a film to help. All the very best, Jiffy
Great comparison video, you got a good deal on that akto Ive seen them go for alot more on Ebay than what you paid. Let's hope we all get to use our tents soon
@@WildCampingWelshman Actually might come true.. Our Cockerell became so dominant and protective of His flock of free roaming hens that he started attacking our 10 year old daughter, despite calmly minding her own business ... He made a tasty soup 😋 Apparently the Fox were scared of him as well, while later on our feathered friends started minimising 🤨😡
I really appreciate and enjoyed your video. Left handed . Your experience and patience as helped me decide . Really excited to try out my new soulo in rain and wind . Winter is the best
Seems like you did well to persevere, in spite of George's efforts! :-) Seems like you covered a lot of ground and produced the kind of video I imagine you were hoping to find. Thanks for putting it together. All the best!
Hey, Thanks for this comparison, very helpful. For many year now i use my Jack Wolfskin Tundra II RT and i absolutely love this tent. Here in Switzerland i often sleep with one of my Husky's or my Samojede in this tent when i go to Stechelberg (Lauterbrunnen) and every year i use it for many weeks on Corsica for wild camping. I consider buying a 2nd hand Sand color Soulo now for some locations where i only stay 1-2 days. ;) I'm 38 and go camping since i was one year old and i like to think that i learned something in all this time, this is way i think that i personally won't like and be happy with the Akto, i don't even like how it looks tbh. I'm sure its an amazing tent and the weight is a dream for sure. Greetings from Switzerland Cheers
@@WildCampingWelshman Edit: I just bought the Soulo for 500Euro on German Ebay. The owner told me that the tent is new and he only used it for 5 Days on a hike. He really liked it but it was to heavy for him so he decided to sell it and buy another one. And it is even the desert (sandy) color ;) If this is all true and the tent really arrives in this near perfect condition i will be very happy! Best wishes from Switzerland and thanks again for the upload! Cheers
Video Outtakes Absolutely, you can easily breath out 1 litre of moisture a night so I don’t really worry about condensation because it is inevitable 👍🏻
Please let me know if you have any interest in selling your Akto. I'd much rather pay less for a 3rd hand Hilleberg than buy one new. I like you am left handed, however I'm just 5'3", am 76 years old, & weigh a trim 108#. AZClaimjumper from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Thank you so much for a very informative video. My question is, would you recommend the Soulo for the Laugavegur trail in Iceland over the Atko considering the strong winds. Looking for a tent that can stand up to pretty challenging conditions, if I need it.
@@frankruggiero4321 Thank you. If strong wind is expected, definitely the Soulo. Although the Akto can handle wind, it won’t be as comfortable inside as the Soulo would 👍🏻
My hiking buddy has had problems with two Aktos bought new leaking. The first was immediately replaced but the second which he set up at home in overnight rain leaked as well. Hilleberg has been in touch with him apologising for the problems and offering yet another replacement through our Australian supplier Wild Earth. He's lost confidence though with the Akto and is going to ask if he can pay the extra and get a Soulo instead. Interesting you mention this is a problem Aktos are known for. It's amazing that such a quality company hasn't sorted this out by now. Sure you can seal it yourself but as my mate said to Hilleberg he doesn't expect an $800 tent to leak from new when his $100 tent doesn't.
I’ve seen the leaking issue get mentioned a lot so it should be sealed by Hilleberg before shipping. I haven’t had a leak since I put some seamgrip over the stitching 👍🏻
I just bought the Soulo last week colour sand from a private seller with footprint used once at a bargain price. I was in between the akto and soulo but after watching you vids, in strong winds my decision was made, cracking videos 👍
I have the Soulo (with footprint) and have slept upwards of 50 nights in it in all types of weather. I have pitched it in many different environments except in deep snow. Woods, sanddunes, tundra, slick rock, heavy brush, grassy knoll (not that one), marshalnd, gravel and so on. I am very found of the tent, how sturdy it is and the fact that it is a roomy 1 person tent. A mention about pitch time (vs. the Akto for example); If you are at a spot where the ground might not be suited for plugs so you have to improvise and tie the lines to branches, rocks, roots or other you can expect to spend a lot longer to get it fully pitched. The Soulo does not need it but you get quite a bit more room inside from tying all the lines. The inside tent walls will sag a bit inwards without the lines taught. The Soulo has 12 lines total in addition to the 6 perimeter plugs. Usually the lines fix to 6 plug points, but if you need to compromise and tie them to trees and branches you can expect a lot longer pitching time for the Soulo (The Akto will be a lot faster but also lesss sturdy against wind). Once the Soulo is tied down however, you go inside, zip it down and let the wind howl. You don't have to worry about a thing and you can sleep like a rock in there. Ceiling is high enough to hang up some clothes to dry while you sleep. It's also a good idea to bring some gear inside and place it along the walls to push them out a bit (without touching the outer fabric). A very nice addition to the Soulo is the Tarp UL 10. I usually pitch it so that it is covering the entrance area or sometimes I have even hung it as a roof above the tent to silence hammering rain.
Wow! That’s the longest comment I’ve ever had. Thank you for your detailed information. “Grassy knoll” 😂😂😂. I’ve seen a few people use a tarp, which is a good addition. Best wishes - Jiffy 👍🏻
Really good review. I've been using a Berghaus Peak Pro for nine months or so, and as great as it is for the money, I can't trust it on windy camps on exposed peaks in the Brecon Beacons. I'm going to look at a Facebook Marketplace Soulo in the morning (in Sand) after looking for one since before Christmas. Very excited, and your pristinely-pitched, taut, Sand Soulo in this video makes me even more impatient! Just subscribed also. Good work 👍
@@WildCampingWelshman Well it was worth the wait. Unused, as advertised, and a healthy saving over the retail price. And now we wait for the countryside to open up again! ✌️
Great, helpful video thank you. Have been considering both and having previously used a Wild Country Zephyros I think I’ll appreciate the vertical space of the Soulo. Cheers!
Thanks for a great comparison. Someone recommended the Akto 1 to me for the Icelandic highlands and after your review and Washington's 70 mph video I think it might be the right choice even though it is darn expensive.
Only used Hillebergs are found cheaper 😉 My Akto is 25 years old and still running flawlessly, despite being used quite intense. Without inner tent often 2 persons with minor equipment, sleeps comfortably...! Today I would pick Allak or Soulo, because of free standing possibilities.
Great stuff! This is exactly the video I was looking for when I was making decisions between these two few months ago. Seems like I've made the right choice.
Nice comparison Jiffy , I would like the soulo but with 4 tents already I think I would be pushing my look lol . So I will keep the akto for the winter camps , I sometimes remove the 4 little poles from each end enabling me to squash the tent pack down really small and just reinstall when I erect the tent . Condensation is just one of those things atb Dave
Thanks Dave. I daren't remove those little poles because I would lose them knowing my luck. The condensation has never caused me any issues. I spray some nikwax around the lower half of my sleeping bag just in case but it's never been damp. Perhaps I don't breathe when I'm sleeping 😂. Keep safe mate, ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Thanks for a splendidly made review..👍 Bit of a lively farm you have to deal with 👀😀 An issue with Soulo, Allak and Staika is the inability keeping rain away from the entrance and inner tent. Apparently rain will hit/drop directly into the inner tent, which by heavy downpour will be quite annoying.. Some larger users can't bend enough keeping the opening as closed as possible, and still getting in and out of their luxurious dwelling. Any experiences with that issue?
Thank you 😊. I’ve not had any major issues. If the weather is poor and rain his blowing horizontally towards the door, unzip the fly sheet door halfway, reach in and unclip some of the inner tent, move it back and climb in. Your inner should the remain dry 👍🏻
I dreamt of owning an akto for years and finally got one and the seam above the door vent leaked … pretty badly (you can see this in the video on my channel) Iv complained to hilleberg and I just wondered if this is a problem with all aktos so far afew people have said they have the same issue. Great video mate 👍
@@WildCampingWelshman yeah that’s what a lot of people have said I’m happy to do that my self I just think it would be beneficial to hilleberg and there customers if they could just stick some seam sealer on it when they have the tent up for inspection .
Great video. One thing about colour, as these are winter tents, intended for snow and mountainous conditions, it's a good idea to get the red (or other bright) colour if possible as that helps any potential mountain rescue teams spot you easily in the snow. Stealth colours are great for moderate spring-to-autumn camps, but without mesh inners these are a bit warm for that. EDIT PS, I have the Olight i1R EOS... absolutely tiny, have it on my keyring (picking up my dog's doo in winter) and it's a great wee backup light, so small it almost doesn't exist! USB rechargeable, you wouldn't use it for hours but its dependable and the charge really lasts.
Cheers mate, Olight make some great quality torches. Completely understand your point with the colour. Because I go solo wild camping, if the weather is bad, I generally don’t go too high. It is easier to add colour (e.g. Bright jacket or emergency bivvy bag) than it is to take it away. I carry an emergency strobe light with me, which is easily accessible from the top pouch of my rucksack, just in case 👍🏻
@@darthkek1953 Thankfully they have never been in a situation where they have needed that function. I've heard a few whistles and seen a few flashing lights during my times on the hills. Better safe than sorry 👍🏻. Take care mate ATB Jiffy.
Hi - thanks for the great video. Do you think the Soulo would be suitable for a two-week hike, from a weight perspective? It's the Alta Via 1 in the Dolomites, for reference. Cheers.
I have both of those and the position of the door and being right-handed drives me nuts. I can’t lean on an arm and cook. Love the tents but that is the one issue. Great review, except - imperial measurements 😂 Love the outtakes. Do you find the Soulo a bit heavy with footprint?
The door position never gets a mention. The Soulo is on the heavy side but the security of knowing that it will put up with severe weather make it acceptable. Plus, you get a better workout 😂. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Great video. I nearly purchased an Akto recently but went for the Fjallraven Abisko lite 1 in the end as it was £100 cheaper and seems to pack a bit smaller, not had a chance to test it out yet though.
I've had the abisko lite 2. Absolutely wonderful tent. Did a 4 month trek with it and it was always reliable. I'm sure you'll get much enjoyment out of the 1 person variant.
Great review of both Akto and Soulo by owner with real experience with both tents in harsh conditions. If looking at the Enan you may want to review the video as well seeing similarities between the Enan and Akto. If a viewer doesn't have 38 minutes you can always watch at 1.5 or 2 speed.
@@WildCampingWelshman that would be great. I own both an enan and soulo. Also own the allack 2. I backpack and camp 3 months a year. Planning on making my own dyneema footprint for the enan and soulo. Thanks for the videos I always learn something new.
See a lot of people complaining about condensation, not just with the Enan and Akto but tents in general. A video on tricks to manage condensation would be great. Detailing things like the importance of a footprint, tent site selection, and storage of wet gear are just a couple of ideas
Could listen to the ginger person waffle on all day. Great review and helping me to decide. I have the nallo 2 gt and it’s great but I’d like a smaller option. Superb tents
Interesting review, you will have the older version Akto at 190cm height. The current version is 193cm, I believe that this is to compensate for the popular use of deeper air mattresses. It is a really good tent, I am of the same height as yourself and considered it a little too low for extended use comfort. It was however a warm, stable tent, yet was replaced quite few years ago for a Tarptent Scarp 1. Similar design, roomier, very stable, regulates condensation far better. The Scarp 1 mk3 version, that came out in 2019, is very much how the Akto could have become had it continued to evolve.
The best Hilleberg isn't here - The Unna. A one person tent you can actually be comfortable in and sit up. Mesh inner for summer though otherwise it ends up like a sauna. I also recommend the footprint for when you roll back the inner for a vestibule, adds weight but as I've got older I need a bit of comfort.
Raymond Logister Thanks Jiffy, I have the Niak. And i like the tent very much. But I wonder if he's strong enough for in high winds? Do you know this coincidentally? ATB, Raymond
@@raymondlogister6828 never heard of a broken Hilleberg.. Anyway, double the poles if in doubt, and exercise mounting the whole according to instructions and best practice, before the hard weather hits you
thanks, very instructive :) Have you tested the NALLO 2 vs the SOULO ? it's the same weight, both red label, and the NALLO 2 has much more room but it's not a dome. cheers
Great video - thanks. I'm looking for a truly bomproof tent as an alternative to my Quasar when solo and the weight of the Quasar feels too much (and too spacious to be warm on your own) for high level scottish winter conditions. Is the soulo to one would you say? Struggling to find a one man tent I would feel I could trust in anything like I do the Quasar.
I just roll it up and stuff it down the side of my pack. Although you can separate the main pole, there are four smaller corner poles which can but shouldn’t be removed. These poles make it difficult to squash down smaller. ATB Jiffy
Well Martin, is it a red Soulo or are you going to stick with the Akto? My guess is that you will go for a Soulo because you’ve been contemplating it for a while now mate 👍🏻
Wild Camping Welshman hahah yes I will go for the soulo I have gone back and forth but I’m more of a winter person and that space is worth it. I want red for photos really I think it looks good in photos. I’m going to hold fire on buying for a few weeks and sell some other stuff first I think but yes will get it. Seeing that head space has swung it.
Nice tents but they seem over priced to me. I used a Robert Saunders Spacepacker from the 1980s, which I still have. I tested it recently and it is still waterproof. It has seen some pretty extreme weather over the years, including that in Iceland. Hopefully yours will last as long.
David Cooper Thank you. I agree, they are very expensive but the quality is second to none. I hope they last me many years to come, just like your spacepacker. Best wishes - Jiffy 👍🏻
Well that’s a great Review I did want a Soulo however could not find a sensible priced one on eBay. But I’ve just sniped an Akto on eBay £390 and only used 1 night supposedly. Not arrived yet. But this has confirmed it was a good buy. Oh it’s a Dark Green one. And wet myself with Geeeeeeorge Thanks 🙏🏻
Well Jiffy it’s arrived! He said one night? It’s 1-2 years old he thinks. Mmmmmm it’s the same green as yours, no ladies label 🏷 I haven’t got a footprint. Other than that I had a good night in it with a tiny amount of condensation on fly. I have to say for a dark Tent it’s spectacularly bright inside. 👍🏻
@@Yorkshiremadmick How much did you pay? Are you happy with it? Condensation will pretty much always be present, I really don't let it bother me. Take a little micro fibre towel with you to wipe things down, if needed. I generally find that the inner remains dry 👍🏻
@@Yorkshiremadmick For some extra headroom, try unclipping a couple of the top toggles and moving the inner back a little. It will give you an extra 3 inches to sit more comfortably 👍🏻
What a video! If Carlsberg did reviews! Excellent and very informative thank you. Would you say the large sized, mummy shaped size air mats that at are 25” wide (I’m looking at the sea to summit ether XT large) would fit comfortably is the Soulo?
I am now the proud owner of a new Hilleberg Soulo! Yours and others reviews helped me make up my mind so thanks very much for that. I also like the items you take whilst doing over nighters which include your little camping table. I can see myself packing very similarly to yourself. I appreciate there are many variables but do you have any idea of your pack weight?
You won’t be disappointed mate. I’ve never weighed my pack. I just put it on and go for it. If it’s heavier, I just think that I’ll be getting a better workout 😂. I see lads going as light as possible and then packing 6 or more cans of beer so it defeats the object. You’ll get used to carrying the weight, the more often you go. 👍🏻
DaveDoesOutdoors I think you will get condensation in any tent, however, I’ve never had a wet sleeping bag. The condensation forms on the outer tent in most cases and the inner remains dry. You have a couple of options though to help. Put your waterproof jacket over the feet of your sleeping bag. Take a lightweight bivvy bag. Spray some Nikwax over the base of your sleeping bag. Or, what I do, take a small microfibre towel to wipe things down. It’s not been an issue for me though. I did have a single skin pyramid tent which was much worse. If you take a look at my Brecon Beacons film with the Luxe Mini Peak (not the first one), I briefly mention it, prior to getting attacked by midgies 😂
Wild Camping Welshman Thanks for reply planning on a more 4 season tent later in year so doing my homework - just started my channel as a lock down coping project - enjoying getting out - thanks for any support 👍🏽
No problem at all mate. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Hilleberg tents are very expensive so it makes sense to do research before committing that much money on one 👍🏻
@@DaveDoesOutdoors Go out in really bad weather and make sure your film tags include phrases like "camping in the rain" "camping in a storm" "wild camping". Also a good thumbnail photo to attract attention helps 👍🏻. It takes time though. I had barely any subscribers in my first year.
Interesting, I'm travelling with a Soulo for almost a decade, and while being right handed, I never even thought about the door position being an issue. It just worked for me, but maybe because I'm not that tall and can sit cross legged within the Soulo comfortably.
Another interesting fact: My old Soulo has neither the option to open the vent as you showed it (right side down from the "black" material), neither does it have reflective strips anywhere. The only reflective parts of my old Soulo are the guy lines.
Update: Without erecting the tent, I took a look at my old Soulo, and it actually has some reflective strips, but only at the inserts for the poles. Half of each insert is protected/surrounded by a strip for the color code (blue / red) and a small piece of reflective material. The additional reflective strips which you've shown seem to be a good addition.
I haven’t found it to be a major issue. You will always get some condensation, especially on smaller tents. I have found that it forms on the inside of the outer fly sheet but not on the inside of the inner. I always take a small microfibre towel with me, to wipe things down. You can put a waterproof jacket over the feet of your sleeping bag or spray it with some nikwax but I never have. I generally keep the inner door open, unless the weather is really poor. The worst condensation I have ever had was in a pyramid tent. If you take a look at my Brecon Beacons film (not the first one, the 6th one with the Trangia thumbnail ) you’ll see me point it out in the morning 👍🏻
I use Akto in Scandinavian coastal climate and during winter in the mountains, continental climate. Akto is often difficult ventilating efficiently. Use a ground sheet, lift the outer sheet with a stick or shoe or whatever, and half open zipper helps. Bring a cloth wiping the whole anyway. Some half an hour in the sun takes the rest... During winter it's better. I like its high durability along with low weight and profile, making it hard to catch for heavy winds, and nosy busy bodies when wild camping in populated areas.
Got my akto two days ago. On the inside instructions it says: Do not compress excessively. Did you had any issues according to that on the Soulo? I want to pack it in a bike pannier... Nice comparision and very helpful review of both tents. 👍🏻
I actually asked Petra Hilleberg about compressing it and she said she does the same but advised not to store it in a compressed state for long, so when I get home I repack it as normal 👍🏻
@@WildCampingWelshman Thanks a lot - this helped me a lot. Good to have "direct connections" ;-) I've compared the akto with a msr hubba tour - and my first impression: different leagues.
I've used Akto since 25 years along with biking. Be careful if compressed that it won't rub against anything. Different hardware will wear out the sheet.. Pack it with the lines with the problematic Aluminium tensioners on the mesh, and roll it carefully with wisely placed zipper.
Hi Jiffy can I ask you a few questions regarding the Akto. I’m a short ass so hight and size isn’t real problem for me but what is she like in storing winds. Most of my camps are summit camps up the Brecon Beacons and usually out in the worst conditions. Is the Akto flappy in the wind? I know you said the Akto can get pushed down on to you’re face? Out of all the tents I have (expensive tents) my North Face Tadpole 23 has just given up on me and it was seriously bombproof as in on top off Llyn Y Fan Fach in 60-80mph winds and she stood up to it with no problem, no flapping. Out of all the tents you have what would you recommend? Kind Regards Lee Nulty
Hi Lee, if you go for the Akto, I would recommend a spare pole to double pole it in strong winds. It does press down on the windward side due to it only having the one widthways pole. It is strong though. If you search for Daveswildcamping on RU-vid, he has one in 85mph winds. As for a recommendation for tents, out of those I own, you can’t really get much better than the Soulo. It holds it shape in high winds and if pegged down and setup properly, will take some serious beating. It is more expensive than the Akto though and heavier but the strength is very reassuring. Take a look at my Film from earlier this year, I don’t know what the wind speed was but trust me, it was probably storm force levels. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
