Avenger A5029 9.5' Roller Stand 29 with Low Base (Chrome-plated)

I've been using C-Stands for years now on location, but there are times when it's just easier to move a big light weighed down by sandbags with wheels! Solid stand, and the breaking system on the wheels seems to work well. I also like that the wheels are easily removed for transport or when you don't want to use them (outdoors, for example).

This is the first heavier-weight stand I've purchased, but the build quality seems excellent. No tradeoffs are made against durability and strength. I bought this along with the D600 mini boom, which seems to be made for this stand (same materials, pole width, knobs, etc).
Currently have not used the boom with the light stand for anything heavy, but by itself, the light stand holds my Mola Setti Beauty dish w/ Alienbees b1600 light. It can be tilted at any angle, with or without the wheels on, and feels very sturdy without need for extra weight.

The specs in the listing say that the stand is 14lbs. It feels significantly heavier than that though.. And remains about 4-5 ft long when collapsed. I still manage to carry it around, but would not classify this as portable if that is something youre looking for in a light stand. You tradeoff the weight/portability of aluminum and carbon fiber for pure strength at a good price

Not much bad to say about this stand. Its sturdy, wheels work great and folds up nice and compact for travel. Having a key light with wheels is a must have in my opinion.

Pretty light. Stable. Very nice to have in the studio so you don't have to lift your lights all the time. One star off because casters were difficult to attach.

The stand is exactly what I hoped it would be: sturdy and a bit on the heavy side. Perfect for some light boom work and for moving around an 86" umbrella with relative ease.

I'm taking away a star because it was missing a bolt and nut that was needed to attach one of the casters. I would have returned it but this was a last minute emergency purchase. I picked up a replacement parts in a local hardware store for about a buck. Keep in mind, the nut is in mm so you'll need an appropriate socket. (9mm I believe.)

Strangely enough the stand was also missing any sort of instruction manual or warranty- odd for Manfrotto.

This stand is just like you'd expect. Its extremely study and th wheels roll smoothly. My one complaint is that one of the casters was cross threaded at the factory and wasn't screwed in all the way so the first time I went to use it at the studio it fell apart and I wasn't able to fix it until I got it back to my work bench.

I bought this stand to carry a manfrotto super boom for use on fashion sets. It holds the medium softbox+head~13 lbs and the 20 lb counter weight with ease, the casters are the perfect size and quality. It is also the perfect height to be able to left up with one person and keep a center of control below chest height for anyone 5'2" and taller. it will extend up to above the standard 11 foot auto pole extension. It could be heavier on the bottom for ease of raising, I recommend the steel version for in studio, the aluminum one I got is great but could be heavier.

I use this stand to mount an Einstein strobe with anything from the smallest reflector up to a 30x60 softbox or 64" PLM umbrella. It is sturdy, smooth wheeling and easy to move around the studio. These stands have a top notch durable finnish and the casters have brakes that hold firm (maybe too firm). I really like the way they fold up for transporting and are now part of my gear. One more thing; I won't need to buy these stands again because if cared for properly they will outlive me!

This is a top-notch. An investment that won't lose its value.

I can't believe how good this is for the price. This thing is solid! It probably won't be the last one I buy.

This is a well-made stand, however. I mounted an Avenger D600 Boom Arm (8lbs), and a Kino-Flo Diva light (14lbs), raised the stand up, and was concerned with the amount of wobbling I was seeing in the aluminum risers. I wish this stand was all-steel. Unfortunately the all-steel stands have much wider legs.

With the risers down, I have mounted 18.5lb Kino-Flo Tegra lights, and its very sturdy. I do not feel I need sand bags on the legs.

Comments about Avenger A5029 9.5' Roller Stand 29 with Low Base (Chrome-plated):

This lightstand is sturdy and well-built. The clamps tighten well and hold position.

However, the risers are aluminum. The unit is rated at 27lbs max load. I put an 8lb Avender D600 boom on it, and a Kino Flo Diva Lite (14lbs), and with one of the risers raised, it had a disconcerting amount of sway.

If I could find a version that was all-steel I would be more happy.

Even more heavy duty than I expected but they still roll easily on most surfaces. Great stand!

I am currently using this stand to support a HD monitor on a Matthews Vesa mount & I really like having the ability to look at the monitor at eye level. Being able to move the stand around my studio as well as to other locations is really nice.

Comments about Avenger A5029 9.5' Roller Stand 29 with Low Base (Chrome-plated):

nice stand, fit and finish are top notch, brakes could function a little easier, I find I have to use a lot of force to unlatch sometimes, but I own several, I wanted a new one for my client LCD stand and it fits the role perfectly, my others have shown the signs of time, but keep working, as always, my friends at B&H had the best price [...]

In a world of overpriced gadgetry, here is a great tool built to not fall apart. Good value for the money. This will be a joy to use on the next shoot.

This light stand is extremely well made. Built in casters add to it's functionality. I use it to support the Avenger D600 Mini-Boom with a monobloc strobe and large softbox. Couldn't be happier with this unit.

Nice wide base, feels extremely sturdy and stable. Rolls easily with a 30x60" softbox & strobe attached - even on carpet.
