Well built, easy to assemble, sturdy, extensions are spring loaded and dampened.The 4ft boom gives a lot of versatility plus extending beyond the 10 foot height.Disassembles to about 4 feet in length with legs removed.Supports all my equipment, softboxes, umbrella, strip boxes, lights and strobes.Legs height is not aductable, not an issue for me.These are not light weight, but not too heavy to be somewhat portable.Great value.

Whats not to love! These stands are really well made IMHO. Been on sets for 20 years, and they are every bit as good as anything I have used before. The price is outstanding for these, as the "name brand" professional ones sell for 3X more. I especially love the spring cushioning in the 2 main sections. The grip heads seem very durable, built to last. I actually emailed Neewer, to let them know how impressed I was with the quality/price point. I have since purchased 3 more of these fantastic stands!

These stands have definitely been a great purchase for me. I’ve bought two sets (total of four stands). They are rock solid, great finish, easy to use, and well worth the money. They are not light weight, so you’ll need some muscle if you’re planning on walking a while to get to your location, but I like knowing that they won’t tip over easily. I’ve purchased a wagon separately to make transport less of an effort.The stands are great quality and have a foam grip that make them comfortable to move around.

Fail... The stands had so much promise but ultimately failed. The stands are well built on the surface however the knuckle has an easy goal point, the screw connecting the two pieces only has about one and a half threads keeping the halves together and falls apart after tightening. I'm glad I didn't loose a speed lite and modifier due to this flaw. Another nitpicky thing is these stands came with no instructions whatsoever which was disappointing if you're a first-time user and you don't know that you're supposed to pull the legs open or take them apart with the included Allen wrench which also was very confusing .NEEWER was so very close to having a decent product at a great price point but it missed the mark. Unfortunately you still get what you pay for.

Pros:Heavy DutySpring cushionGreat for studioCons:HeavyNot fully C-Stand, since leg doesn't raise vertically.Overall:Great price and Heavy duty for studio. Useful if your third leg doesn't need height adjustment for uneven terrain. I'd buy another one if needed.
