but I do like this one

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018

I don't have much experience with photography light stands, but I do like this one. I've got a large softbox Glow Softbox 30 x 60" mounted on it, with Adorama's Flashpoint M320 Flashpoint II 320M, 150 Watt Second AC / DC Monolight Strobe. . You also need the extra-cost Glow Speed Ring, of course to attach the soft box to that item. Anyway, that all fits pretty well on this stand, it definitely holds the weight fine and is not tippy.

From what I can tell, the stand is all metal construction, including the 2 collars that sit at the top of each of the extension points. The set screw things on the extensions are quarter turn (no extra fiddling screwing a set screw in and wondering if you've got it tight enough -- though you do have that kind of part on the base part that locks the three legs into extended position). And I think even those little knobs are metal.

I'd earlier bought a Neewer 75"/6 Feet/190CM Photography Light Stands for Relfectors, Softboxes, Lights, Umbrellas, Backgrounds stand which I really did not like as much -- it was somewhat lighter duty, and had plastic collars (and regular set screws). One of them came broken in the package and there wasn't terrible trauma to the box, so I'd just expect that one to not last as long.

I've seen some reviewers complaining about the quarter turn knobs not locking the rods down well enough -- I'm pretty sure I read (and can see how you could do this) that the tightness of the collars is adjustable with a socket or pliers by tightening up the nut on the bolt that goes through the knob, I assume when it's in unlocked position.

I've only had it for a week or two but it seems to be a pretty solid product to me.

Much sturdier than the smaller Cowboy studio stands!

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2012

Up until now I've been using the smaller Cowboystudio stands that came with my CS continuous 3 light set with 2 backdrops and a backdrop stand. These 9' heavy duty stands are WAY nicer than the smaller stands.

Here's the play-by-play:
- stand height when collapsed: about 3'; approx. 1' taller that my smaller stands collapsed.
- stand tube thickness: almost double that of the smaller stands.
- height adjusters: quick release knobs make adjustments fast and easy and less likely to break with use. However heavier equipment could cause stand sections to drop since you can't tighten it as much as you want. But I tested it, and it takes quite a bit of weight to make them drop while tightened. Much more than the average person would have on top of these stands.
- footprint: almost 3' when fully opened; smaller stands are around 2' or less
- Cushioned means spring loaded tubes which attempt to absorb shock on an abrupt drop. The springs should be beefier, even just dropping the tubes by themselves with no equipment on them sounds harsh and like I wouldn't want it to happen to my lights...even with the springs.

Only downside to these, I also bought a Ravelli stand of similar price, quality and size and that one comes with a really nice bag and has MUCH nicer components (except it has plastic height adjuster clamps) and it comes with a removable and reversible screw stud at the top. This adds to the stands versatility and is why I'll probably buy more of those and less of these.

Survived 1300 kids and counting

What's not to like about light weight, durable light stands in a good price point. These little guys traveled to 21 schools in 16 days and helped capture 1300 preschool children! They did great until the very end. 2 of my 4 have started to loosen at the tightening lever. I realize this can be adjusted to some degree and I will tighten it back, but I have one I bought a year or so ago with the same issue and they can only tighten so far.

If you've got a stationary studio, these will serve you SO WELL for so long! If you're doing some onsite work they'll still give you their money's worth no doubt and if you're visiting 21 schools in 16 days, they'll pay for themselves over and over, but plan to repair and eventually replace them. In this price point you can afford to buy several sets or replace the hardware with more durable parts

Heavy, but decent at price point

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2020

My son plays volleyball and nutty parents are always taping around the court; as unlike in post other sports: VB is easily captured on recording devices. Over the years, I have seen some elaborate setups and have looked up the prices of some of the units and they are $200+ for really good ones. The other issue is having one that can be perched above the heads of spectators. Most monopods or tripods are about 6ft (71 inches) or less: making it difficult to do so. When I found this monster, I thought it solved that issue and at a great price point.

Build quality: It's better than most at the price point, but it is heavy and cumbersome to carry. Setup is relatively easy, but legs are tough to open/close and don't have "foot pegs" to level, relying on a plastic insert in a metal tube.

Overall: Does not come with any case/cover and is too big even collapsed to carry in any backpack. If you don't have to take one far and need this height perspective: this item will work great. I am returning it, as it just doesnt work for my application and I will drop about $150 on a Monfrotto monopod.

Good stand at a great price, but "feels" a little cheap

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2011

Verified Purchase

I'm impressed with this stand. Really, I am. It's a bargain price, and it's sturdy enough to hold a monolight and a 24x36 softbox without straining as long as I'm not extending it beyond 7 feet. I only use it higher than that when my sppedlight and umbrella (with remote) are attached, as the poles get a bit wobbly when really extended.

The spring dampening makes the stand feel cheap. When rotating one of the poles to adjust the angle of the light, occasionally you can hear the springs creak or groan, adding to the cheapness feeling.

But really, it hasn't given me a lick of trouble since I've had it (about a month and a half, but it gets daily use, 7 days a week).

If you are on a limited budget and looking at these, yes I can recommend them. If you've got a somewhat better budget, go for some that are air dampened. But you shouldn't feel too bad "settling" for these, they're quite good.
