Great product

"Sufficiently sturdy yet light weight and well made. Great price. You may need a sandbag if you extend it all the way to 8 feet high, especially if it's windy outside and the wind blows on your umbrella. Even other brands will tip over when wind blows on the umbrella, so there's no point spending more money on a more sturdy/more heavy lightstand...." Read Full Review »

I got them in the Quantum light kit for basically nothing but, sadly, that's about what they are worth. I'd explain in greater detail how they "fell apart" but it's hard to explain. Just visualize that you can move the poles/rods/whatever up and down without loosening the screws or whatever ..." Read Full Review »

"Use mostly for quick speedlight portraits. Easy to set up, light and so far durable.



My only gripe is that if you tighten the screw that secures the legs in place it chokes the other sections from extending smoothly. And when I took mine out of the box one of the knobs was floating around in the …"  Read Full Review »
