you are right whenever I hear scissor lift i see red flags in my head, they are unstable, uncontrollable, and not durable, oh and really really heavy. There really isn't and comparison between scissor lift and a double jointed arm, a properly designed double jointed arm wins. If created properly they can be very controllable and far more flexible than a scissor lift. If you are looking for a vertical moving arm look at an forklift (elevator) type system (111 in 2005 for example). I have only ever seen one, yes one, effective scissor lift.. and too many non-effective ones.
