This is NOT a full sized basket. This is NOT the lightest portable. But it IS the most easily transportable, folding to the smallest package and at a reasonable weight.
I bought it as the portable backup to my metal basket, but it gets more practice time, as it goes everywhere with me (well virtually everywhere). At 1/2 of the target area of a standard basket (3/4 the height, 2/3 the width -you do the math), this was actually the first accuracy basket out there (just not hyped that way). I will tell you, though, that if you tie the chains back to less than a foot across this is an AMAZING precision basket that goes places much more conveniently than the Mach Shift.
