 Rating: - cheap and goodI own several light stands as I use them to hold up my touring puppet stages. This one seems as good as several of the $80-100 stands I've purchased.

These are pretty light, which I like from a portability standpoint, but from the durability side we'll just have to see. Still, they're very inexpensive. And they're a little plasticky. But what the heck: I don't use them to drive nails, do I? And besides, they're really inexpensive... I suspect two of these are the price of two comparably-sized Manfrotto stands (they are, after all, relatively inexpensive), ... Read More |
