NEEWER Pro 9feet/260cm Spring Loaded Heavy Duty Photo Studio Light Stand with 1/4" Screw & 5/8 Stud for Video, Portrait and Photography Lighting

This is my very first light stand, and I am glad I got it from Neewer. I think I am gradually building a loyal relationship with the brand, as it has always serve the purpose. It is very lightweight and easy to assemble with the whole set I got. It is also very steady, and I left it standing for over a month, and it only moves when I move it.

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.

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.

Great weight to them, great height and sturdy

Fantastic, now purchased two of these

Bought as a stand for the spotlight and is sturdy and has not given me any issues

You get what you pay for is the old saying and it definitely applies to these stands. cheap but not so cheerful!Positives: Tall. reasonable thickness of sections for sturdiness. CheapNegatives: They are spring loaded, but it is a very weak spring. It will not protect your light from jarring or your hand from being pinched unless it is a feather weight strobe. I just used a mid weight Godox and small Lightbox and the spring couldn't cope!.Locking handles are flimsy plastic. I don't expect they will last long!I have learned my lesson. They seem like a bargain, but I'm guessing they will need replacing in the not too distant future.

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.
