StandDaddy?

Is anybody familiar with the StandDaddy? I just saw a video which claims it is an essential tool for filmmakers. From what the video says, it looks like something I may want to buy to stabilize my mic stand (until now I have been just hanging a shopping bag with a gallon juice bottle filled with water). But I tend not to trust things I have just heard about, hence this message. If anyone is using it (or has in the past), would you recommend it?

Thanks!

Oh, and this is the video:

OK, I guess, I’ll just have to buy one and see by myself whether/how it works.

Just to keep you updated, I ordered it shortly after saying I would. They charged my card via amazon Pay. A week later they refunded my money without bothering to tell me what happened. Very odd.
