Very impressed with the build quality - it is definitely built to last. It is stable, with no flex, and is very easy and quick to assemble/disassemble. The wingnut style knobs are large and easy to operate. It is quite heavy, so I don't reckon I will even need the sandbag provided. As the description states 'Super Heavy Duty Solid Boom' - 100% accurate. I thoroughly recommend this product.
Solid as a rock. However, it came without instructions and having never used one before it was quite a challenge to figure out how to open the turtle base. Holds a LED light with the front heavy massive Aputure softbox without any flex. My previous lightstand was flexing more than 3 inches and needed a sandbag and even then felt unstable. Seems like this will support anything. The mechanism opening the legs is very stiff but it does not matter for my purposes.
This a superb light stand. It's strong, it is quite heavy so not really made for portability, and if you are putting expensive strobes on a stand then this is what you want to be using.
Super quick deilivery, come a hour before I was set to leave for a shoot so I took it with me. Worth the money held my heavy beauty dish up 8ft no problem. Will be buying more thats for sure
Comes well packed - no instructions - maybe not needed it is very easy to assemble. A big heavy stand - which is what I wanted.The first stand was slightly faulty and unsteady. I raised a Return Request. The seller contacted me through Amazon almost immediately. I posted a video clip which showed the fault, the seller accepted that that stand had a problem and dispatched a replacement that afternoon I had it the next working day.So, the C-Stand I have now is fine. Heavy, stable and seems to be nicely made. I wanted this for a home photo studio, to hold small backgrounds, reflectors and the like - with a few clips it is ideal. The base is stable and small for such a hefty stand. The grip-arm can be clamped firm in just about any position.I'd recommend the stand and was impressed by the attitude of the seller.
