Amazon BasicsAluminum 80"/2.04m Light Stand with Case for Studio and On-Location Photos, 2.69lbs/1.22kg, Max Load 6.98lbs/3.17kg, Adjustable Height, Portable, Compact Storage - Black

I was so sceptical about moving away from my tried and tested brand of light stands but these surprised me. Very sturdy and smooth to operate. Does the build quality match that of my branded stands? Well, not exactly but they are a quarter of the price and are as stable; I just feel the turn bolts are a bit flimsy but nothing to worry about too much. They can easily handle my 800w heads with a 185cm softbox and I've even used them to hold up my backdrops as well, which aren't lightweight.

I am super happy with this light-weight stand. It exceeded my expectations for the low price. I'm using it with light-weight cameras (Brinno, Insta360) for panoramic and time-lapse photography. It's ideal for me as I don't have to worry about leaving an expensive tripod outside for long periods.Build quality and finish is good. The adjustment clamps are simple plastic. So care needs to be taken not to over-stress or over-tighten. My camera set-ups weights are up to 500g and the stand handles this well. I use a make-shift sandbag tie down if the stand is being used outside and fully extended.If you are looking for something that is low-cost and lightweight, I would highly recommend. If you have a more substantial camera or heavy lights etc, you probably need to look at a more robust stand.Carry case is a bonus. Well done Amazon for another Brilliant Basics

These stands are very good value for the casual photographer/videographer. They are cheap and light weight and extend up to about 7 feet. I’ve had an 80cm sqr softbox on one of these without any issue. I would advise putting a weighted bag on the feet to ensure complete stability. They would not suit a professional or anybody intending to mount heavy lights of modifiers as they are much too thin to withstand such equipment. I can’t imagine them standing up to any rough treatment or usage outdoors if the wind is blowing.I give them 4 stars as they are cheap but still provide great functionality for the casual or careful user who doesn’t want or need expensive more heavily built stands.

Works perfectly. It is very lightweight and is good for VR base station.

surprisingly good quality

If you need a couple of inexpensive light stands, these are compact and lightweight; ideal for a flashgun-only kit.They’re significantly thinner/smaller than my regular stands (but that also means that they’re not quite as sturdy), and will take a load off my shoulders for smaller assignments.I definitely wouldn’t use these with a monolight and a large octa and I’m pretty sure that I’ll only be using the stands in an indoor setting, like a studio space.The plastics isn't exactly A-grade: the knob and locking mechanisms feel like you’ll need to be careful with the stand over time.Even so, the rivets, screws and coupling mechanisms are all metal, so I don’t foresee a problem as such.Bottom line: they’ll get the job done for flashgun kits and as emergency stands, but not much else.

I am a beautician and both of my stands broke for my ring lights in the same week. I ordered this one and it is amazing! So strong and really sturdy my actual light is really heavy so this holds it really well. Will definitely be ordering another just in case. Highly recommend.

I bought this as an emergency replacement for a missing stand on my Bowens Gemini 400 flash system. While it did the job, it's certainly not as sturdy or as stable as the original stand, and I wouldn't recommend it for anything as heavy as a professional flash head. Luckily, I've now found the missing Bowens stand, so I'll be relegating this one to lighter duties. The 1/4in thread on the top will fit a standard tripod bush, so it should be ideal as a stand for my Ricoh Theta 360 camera.

Excellent material, lightweight and easy to carry, it is also very stable and offers good load resistance. I recommend it 100%

Le quedo perfecta a mi lapara neewer me encanto

Ein Produkt, bei dem man selbst bei der hochwertigsten Ausrüstung sparen kann. Macht was es soll. Top!

Het statief houdt zowel een studioflits, zelfs met een grote softbox, als een beamer stabiel. Plooit makkelijk open en toe.

Prodotto arrivato in neache in giorno perfettamente imballato. I due stativi vengono utilizzati per due luci godox ml600 (quindi non molto grandi). Pur essendo molto leggeri eseguono lo stesso il loro lavoro molto egregiamente, non si tratta chiaramente di un prodotto professionale ma la spesa ne vale sicuramente la pena!
