Love these! I have several of these and this newer model improves on the previous design. Will/would buy again.

These are fantastic, a little heavy, I wish they came with a carrying case!

I own SEVERAL light stands - some are 20+ years old, some are less than a few years. This style has sort of become the standard - too much plastic for my liking, but they still seem to hold up decently as long as you Doni;t abuse them.I've had this one for a few months now and though it doesn't get a lot of use, it does see some action. In fact, just used it today. Wanted something with good stability that was light and easy to carry (as opposed to a giant combo stand). This worked great and functioned as well as the day I received it.No complaints so far but will update if it fails!

Well-built and sturdy. The extra height comes in useful.

Good Sturdy Stand, Good Footprint & Works Well For Basic Photo/Video/Audio Needs - Bill Mahon Photo, Video & Drone

Top notch tripod, I especially love the air cushioned release when lowering it. I mount heavy LED lighting to them and it's comforting to know it will lower back down slowly.

My large softbox caused one of the cheap stands to bend so this was the answer. It is tall enough so I do not need to overextend the sections. It works great and it is also air cushioned so it does not bounce if you encounter any accidents.

Sturdy and strong built. Love it.

Descente des sections avec la compression d’un amortisseur.Marche très bien

Me gusta que son de desplazamiento lento hacia abajo, como amortiguador para evitar que golpee si por alguna razón se suelta entonces no cae de golpe ni rebota como los de resorte, solamente me parece muy delgado en comparación con el que tiene 1 metro más que es bastante más grueso y resistente por unos 500 pesos más.

Strumento affidabile e robusto. Ben curato nei particolari

Para gustos colores, los he adquirido hace poco y la verdad me ha sorprendido los acabados y robustez, montado con un AD300PRO y un octabox godox de 120, ni se inmuta a unos 2,50mt. La única pega es las palometas, las veo un poco endebles para mi gusto.
