This is a solid, medium weight stand. It does what it's supposed to do and is better for lights/flashes/etc that are on the medium weight side(or if you have softboxes). Frankly, I prefer my Manfrotto 001B, which is a super-light-weight 6 foot stand, and folds down much smaller. So in the end... as a studio stand, great. As a portable stand, not bad, but you can buy lighter. Build quality is fine and none of the hardware seems cheap. A previous review said this stand was "air cushioned" but it really isn't. It might have that effect in the right conditions but I own some true "air cushioned" stands and this one is not. For the price, you won't complain.

I love these Amazon reviews, and hate to write a negative one.
Bought this model about a year ago, due to low cost and other reviews.. shortly thereafter, the "spring" feature fell apart internally. Then (and now), the top of this spins with the lightest touch (or even if it is mildly unbalanced) - so, the light doesn't stay aimed where it is pointed. Duck tape works to hold the top from spinning - but, really now... it should be much more robust.

This was designed so poorly, it broke after only 4 or 5 shoots.
I took it apart to see if I could fix it, and found they used tape in areas to keep parts together.
Also, it is very easy to tip over.

Not the best so its hard to extended and collapse
Mine came bent and I was told to ship back at my cost and blah blah. I dont have the extra money or time. I just let it sit in one spot of the studio holding my highlight light.

Westcott 750 Photo Basics 7.0-Foot Light Stand
Takes up very little space and tends to hold up very well. Thinking of buying another to hold more lights.

Good little stand
Bought a couple of these about 3 years ago. They have held up under moderate use and are still going. Very nice inexpensive stands.

It will break faster than you think.
One of the springs broke just after couple of uses but stand was still usable with a bit of force necessary to extend it. Read more

A standard stand
This stand works really well, but is very light, that's why I recommend using it with sandbags. I like the fact that it has springs inside, it's very helpful in case one of the... Read more

Works Great!
This is very sturdy and I've had no problems with it. If you are using this as a holder for your reflector don't forget to buy the attachment (like I did).
