NEEWER Pro 100% Stainless Steel Heavy Duty C Stand with Boom Arm, Max Height 10.5ft/320cm Photography Light Stand with 4.2ft/128cm Holding Arm, 2 Grip Head for Studio Monolight, Softbox, Reflector

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Rock solid. Great product. I'm using it to mount a camera above a table for top down photography/video. The stand and arm are study, not prone to vibration and easy to adjust in all directions. I'm very happy with this product. It's one of those purchases where it more than exceeds what I expected after several false starts (desk mounts, flimsy tripods). I'm sure it will last a very long time.Functionality:Everything performs exactly as you would expect. When the clamps are tightened things stay in place. When they are loosened things are easy to move and adjust.Size:Can be made to be very tall. Not what I need, but I imagine if you had a large light with soft box this would easily position them at every height.Ease of setup:Unfold, extend, adjust angle. Done. Couldn't be simpler.

I do a lot of photo and video production and have found this a fantastic light stand, one that is well designed, durable, and functional. I appreciate the quality materials and ease of adjustment as well as the ability to place it on flat or inclined/stepped surfaces. It's not lightweight by any means, but I wouldn't trust it with my expensive equipment if it was less sturdily built. In fact, it's heavy enough that you can tell it's designed more for studio work than for portable use in the field. For example, you can't align all 3 legs for easy carrying without using the included Allen wrench and it doesn't come with a carrying case/bag. Nevertheless, I've dragged it out on location simply by separating the boom from the main stand several times without much difficulty.It probably goes without saying, but if you haven't owned a c-stand before you should know that it will require a few sandbags if you're using anything semi-heavy (more than 5 or 6 pounds) on the boom, such as a continuous output light and deflector or umbrella. Neweer's brand bags are as good as any, though I use weights from an old fitness vest instead of sand so that they don't make any mess. I've found it balances a bit better with a counterweight on the boom arm too, but that's somewhat optional based on your strength and use case.All-in-all this is a very good c-stand, well worth what I paid for it.

Very durable & easy to setup definitely worth it.

I now own 3 of these - the Neewer SC320. All are top notch & robust. I love the center spring that prevents hard drops. If you didn't know, Neewer sells caster wheels that you can put on this to roll around and lock in place.

Works well and the price is very fair! Good stability and closes without a fight!

Very well made. Fit and finish on this work horse is like a jem. Very, very solid. Very good price too.

This is a heavy product. It feels like a better-quality product than the one I received before from another brand and had to send it back. I like how it is designed not to allow it to collapse quickly, that is a great safty feature.

I purchased two of these NEEWER Stainless Steel 10.8ft C Stand with Boom Arm Pro's to use in some high volume photography projects I have going on and was very pleasantly surprised at the high end quality. They are solid, have a great weight to them and being able to get a light source up in the 10ft range is fantastic for me.My only minor complaint is that they didn't come with any sort of bag or case to store and transport them cleanly. I ended up buying this Neewer dual C-Stand case separately and love it, especially the shoulder strap because these C-Stands are NOT light. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CK226XVW)
