Very versatile from cameras to lights and more. The stand feels quality with the price point in mind. Tall enough for most projects, doubt you will need more. Easy to use, unzip, extend, begin. No complaints at all, ordered 4 total, no issues with any of them. Holding up great so far, easy to store, pack up nicely, not taking up extra room being packaged up in the carry bag. Love these, worth the buy if you have a studio or anything similar Read more
Pros: cheap, stable, sturdy, light weight Cons: plastic clamps that will wear out Bottom Line: These are cheap full size stands and they are an awesome value for what you get, but if you have nice expensive equipment then pay more then this for a stand to put it on. I have bought a couple of sets of these so for and will probably buy more. These are great stands for lights, cell phones, tablets, small cameras, microphones, etc. They are very study and stable, the clams hold well and they can handle a decent amount of weight for a cheap stand. Just keep in mind that these are cheap stands with plastic clamps that will wear out quickly with constant use. These are best used in situations where you are not going to be folding them up very often. I have mostly been using them for lights and old cellphones, tablets, and cameras in a makeshift home studio. I also made one into a work light by mounting a couple of yard lights to it. So for general hobbyist use I highly recommend these, but if you have nice expensive equipment that you care about then buy something better. Read more
Perfect for light duty use. Concur with other reviewers on questionable durability of the plastic tension clamps, so probably not for a flash intense amateur or a professional. Carrying sleeves a nice bonus. 2 for the price of a used a good value. Read more

Of all things, I tape a light to them and use them for night fishing. Works great, easy setup, light weight, yet sturdy. Read more

These serve a purpose, but holding your key lights or bigger box setups isn't one of them. They do lock well, they fold up clean, no major binding or anything, they just aren't very durable. I mean for the price, you're getting two really good mini light panel stands, or you can use them for tube lights, mini spot lights, ring lights, but I wouldn't even run something small like a Godox SL60W with a 25" soft box on it and not be able to not keep staring at it to see if it was going to fall. Highly recommend the Smallrig 110" air cushioned light stand. Their part number is RA-S280. Under $60 and I'd put any light I run on it and then some. This product, like I said, is good for the little stuff. Just don't purchase this thinking you're getting a great deal on some heavy-duty light stands. That is not the case. Read more
I'm a professional photographer and videographer and though these stands aren't "professional grade" I have many uses for them when I need to position auxiliary equipment in corners or out of the way. I've mounted strobes on top (1/4-20 threaded post is standard), clipped audio mics on the post, clipped gopro cameras and basically any small piece of gear that you need to give some support to. There is a nice white line on the lower segment which indicates exactly where the legs should be positioned for maximum stability. QUIET - set up makes no noise, the legs slide into position and secure with no metal-to-metal noise. The segments slide up and down through plastic grommets/sleeves which also make no distracting noise. The locks don't make any loud "click" when opened or closed. HOLDS POSITION - Once the vertical shafts are locked into place, there is no drifting or slipping. BLACK IS GREAT - Black is the best color for light stands like these as they don't reflect light, draw attention, or show up in reflective surfaces. FIRM TOP THREADED POST - Some of the other economy stands I have, develop a little "play" in the top aluminum post which also has the 1/4 - 20 thread on top. This is firmly in place with no wiggle to it at all. I have to say that for this price, this is absolutely the BEST light stand I could find anywhere. TALL - Put a GoPro or small video camera on this and you can get the action without worrying that someone stands up right in front of it, unless they are seven feet tall! Do I recommend it? Absolutely, without hesitation! The included zippered bags are nice, but I just toss those. Need support for your small umbrella, softbox or auxiliary gear? Look no further, I'm very satisfied. Get a microphone above the crowd, or post that LED Light. More uses than I have time to describe. In the photos, I'm using SmallRig clamps... great accessories for these stands. Read more
