The articulated screen is so very handy for shooting stars, meteors, comets, etc. Being able to tilt the screen so as to see it at night is something I find very useful.

In addition to the above you can use an unextended tripod closer to the ground making it massively more rigid and less susceptible to wind.

I've even done the above to fully shelter behind stone walls in very windy mountains and achieved total calm for star photography.

I can't believe some still mention the selfie word when articulated screens are debated, especially on a photography site like this where 1/2 the members are pensioners
