I bought this stand at the recommendation of strobist.com and I was not disappointed. It seems much taller than I expected. It gives me a nice high light source and when folded it straps to the bottom of my camera bag. It is only about 3" wider than my bag so I carry it everywhere. I can set it up in minutes and it gets the job done.

My only gripe might be that is seems flimsy or prone to tip if not weighted down. That should be expected by a stand that collapses to this size though.

This is exactly what I wanted, something very light and portable but capable of getting very tall. People who complain about stability clearly don't understand what they are buying -- if you want something heavier and don't want to sand bag, either buy something else or change the laws of physics. You're buying portability here. Paired really well with the Westcott 45" umbrella, which is similarly ideal for my needs.

My decision to purchase this stand was based on the unanimous great reviews from the strobist blog. I have used it primarily for indoor shoots at home and have found it extremely reliable and sturdy. Somehow, it did not fare well outdoors (falling down a couple of times, thankfully no casualties..) with the Vivitar 285 and the 43" westcott umbrella on top of it. You may have to buy some sandbags to weight it outdoors. The stands extends very smoothly and feel very professionally made even though it is light.
I would totally recommend it for the beginner strobist. Actually, I am going to go in for my second one as I write this review.
