Unfortunately your teacher doesnt know what they are tslking about Depending on what tripod you get is going to depend on If it's made of plastic or not they carry a variety of tripods from entry level to advanced A teacher probably want you to go to a store where they get a discount

It is plastic. I used it outside for a lunar eclipse and had no movement with wind, but it wasn't Gale force.

I took my tripod out in Chicago winds and upper east cost winds (on the water) and had no issues.

It's a very sturdy product, but as I am a newbie I would assume any and all tripods would blow and/or fall down in the wind if not anchored properly. My advice is to do more research, but this one is really great; what I like the most about it is the pistol handle....it makes rotating the camera very easy.

Invest in a better tripod. It is cheap and would only work indoors, in my opinion.
