I have one of these and it's great! As far as I know, it is more resistant than the other stand made specially for the G8, the KS-G8. This stand can support (according to the manual) 113,6 kg (or something near it) and I've succesfully used it with a G8 in studio for two hours and nothing went wrong. It's kind of heavy, but it has a great construction and design. Really beautiful and portable! Fits in any car!
It also have things to hold the cables...
I bealive that they are sturdy enough for a G6 since it can hold a G8.
