Phil,
Yes it is light weight and in original form "flimsey", That's why I fitted a heavy hoop to the top - improved integrity.
But its main problem is the removable top which is more of a tent fly. If you had a dome shape top cover of more robust canvas, cross over support rods and quick release ties - the whole thing would be very good. (Still considering if its worth the effort.)
For for one-man remote observing in a small car, this would be ideal.
BTW in present form it makes a great wind break / shower cover, but then I paid a small fraction of retail.
