It's not as steady as a tripod but it's steadier than hand-held - you can
either just rest the leg on the floor, or you can with the foot on the floor
(or anything else for that matter) brace the leg or camera against your
body, a wall, or any other object.
It's preferable when there will be little floor space such as when you're in
a crowd but you need a telephoto because of the distance, and/or when you
want to move around a lot and quickly - no set-up time needed.
