Neewer Stainless Steel Light Stand Silver, 79 inches/200 Centimeters Foldable and Portable Heavy Duty Stand for Studio Softbox, Monolight and Other Photographic Equipment(Pack-2)

Nice and lightweight to transport & move around, while having a good height it can reach & take a fair bit of weight on top (with a sandbag for safety of course!) Use it regularly to hold a boom pole for recording interviews. Able to take the weight of a fully extended 16ft pole without any concerns of breaking or falling.

quality stand , we are using it for a ballistic sheet stand for archery , to stop any arrows off target

I use this Neewer light stand with the Neewer CB60B 70W constant light attached. I use them in the 12x12x8ft space I use for table top pack shots and still life photography. It is heavier than I expected which is very good, has excellent spring dampers, feels stable with a light and softbox attached. I will reserve judgement on the durability of plasticky feeling material used on the twist locks. Otherwise, a good four stars for price and might get five after a year's usage.

Hello, these are great. With a strong construction and sturdy pole hight tightening there has been no worry about any drop in the pole height. The footprint area the legs take up is large so there is no wobble or suggestion of the stand toppling, just make sure you have the floor space to be able to use them without tripping over, bye

well, that is why I love the reviews system, I could not tell from the picture if this as good as it seamed, but after reading the reviews and asking for details, I went for it and I can tell you that indeed this is a good buy, well made, sturdy and great value, arrived well packed and very fast. It's almost entirely made of metal (expect for those plastic butterfly shaped knobs that tighten the screws) there are rivets as opposed to nuts and bolts but these are not big issues. The whole thing feels very solid, and extends to 2.6 meters high. For the price you can't ask for more

I love this tripod, this is my second tripod from this brand and they are both great. They are sturdy and not heavy, very easy to carry around, it fits into my box.

For a long time now I've been looking for a good quality heavy duty light stand for a reasonable price. Time after time they are disappointments, usually not hade from thick enough aluminium and are too flimsy. Not with these. They arrived on time in separate cardboard boxes, wrapped together in wrapping film. Just from the weight of them, I could tell that the were extremely well built and very sturdy. Each one can easily hold 5kg on a tall extension, the only con I can think of, is that they don't come with some sort of bag. Easily fixed with a folding camping chair bag that I had lying around. Always very happy with Neewer products, will defiantly order the again if needed to.

It's very lightweight, which of course means it isnt the sturdiest, and doesnt feel like it could take a beating or support anything super heavy. But for the price, it does the job just fine. Don't expect lots of high quality materials at this price range, but if you're looking for something inexpensive and light that can still support a softbox+light it will be fine. Would recommend a sandbag or something to weight it down if you have anything expensive/heavy on it.
