Manfrotto 367B Basic Light Stand - 9' (2.7m)

Comments about Manfrotto 367B Basic Light Stand - 9' (2.7m):

I use this stand for my microphone when doing location recording. Light stands are better than mic stands, in my opinion - this one gets quite tall while maintaining a low profile and weighing less than a typical mic stand. It has a wide spread at the bottom, so it's quite stable, and the locking mechanisms for the telescoping sections seems well made and durable. I love it more than I've ever loved a mic stand!

Much more compact, lighter and easier to use than my other stands. Nothing negative that I can see at this time

Comments about Manfrotto 367B Basic Light Stand - 9' (2.7m):

While I typically find Manfrotto products to be built very well and this is no exception from a durability standpoint, these light stands lack stability.

Once extended, the distance between the very bottom of the pole and the apex of the three legs is too short, making for an unstable rig.

Even with sandbags, this is not nearly as stable as my Giottos light stands are.

I cannot speak for the new QSS (Quick Stack System) compatible light stands as I have not tried those, but I purchased these after reading reviews that the QSS stands had weak tigthening knobs (red colored tabs).

It does its job well. It is a light light-stand, as long as it is not overloaded, the stand should last and perform well.

Comments about Manfrotto 367B Basic Light Stand - 9' (2.7m):

Seems to be very well made, but opening and closing the legs is very difficult. I have only used it about a dozen times, but it doesn't seem to have loosened up at all. I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing.

I have 9 of these light stands and shoot a lot of out door night shots using Nikon SP910 Speed lights with Pocketwizard Flex5's on them and small sand bags(2 pound) draped over the leg stabilizers will stabilize the stand that much more in a steady wind or the occasional studio bumping elbows, I wouldn't mount a Profoto 1000 D1 light to it but for most basic flash heads it is a great bargain for a well made Light Stand.

Nice little stand. I use it to mount a Litepanels LED light (combined with a hot shoe adapter) when I want my DSLR camera show free for my shotgun mic.

I use only one umbrella outdoors, so what interested me most was having a tall, easy to carry stand with the widest possible base (for this class). All of the components are very well made and easy to use. It doesn't have the air cushion which is my only disappointment. Very happy, would definitely buy this again.

When I went looking for a light stand, I have to admit that because of my love for my economical Manfrotto tripod, I started here. Then I looked at other brands and came back.

I wanted the 9' height for my home "studio" (spare bedroom) but needed something that would be easy to set up and take down and stick in the closet. If it doesn't go back in the closet, it doesn't get to stay (house rules....actually my wife's rules).

And having just bought a new speedlight, umbrella and Manfrotto adapter, I was concerned about stability of all that at 9'. But it works great. As soon as I save up for a softbox, that's going on there next.

It's not the most compact, but there's room in the closet (for now). I'd buy another when the time comes.

I use this light stand to shoot portraits and for copying artwork. It is portable, well built and easy to set up. I use it to hold a 45 inch umbrella. It works very well.

Comments about Manfrotto 367B Basic Light Stand - 9' (2.7m):

Nothing wrong with this stand. I own several of different types and bought two of these for their versatility. I can use them for holding my Manfrotto crossbar to support background canvas or muslin or use them to hold my SB-28 Speedlights with whatever snoot, grid, etc. is called for. They are also plenty substantial enough to support my Photogenic monolights. They can be used to hold reflectors or other lighting modifiers.

These are lightweight enough to be no hassle on the road and strong enough to handle the jobs I listed above. I have no complaints whatsoever with them, as is often the case with Manfrotto equipment.

Comments about Manfrotto 367B Basic Light Stand - 9' (2.7m):

Used with studio strobes.

Large legs and thick sections make this stand very sturdy, no rattling or loose bits.

2.7 metres is HEAPS of height, which is great for placing downwards-facing lights and tricky hairlights.

This comes at a price: it's quite heavy and bulky, so it's not great for location shooting unless you can't get away with something lighter.

This is my second 367B Light stand. I absolutely love it. Strong yet light and very versatile. I loved the first one so much I didnt hesitate to buy this one.

Good product, Works well for mu use.

Comments about Manfrotto 367B Basic Light Stand - 9' (2.7m):

This is my first light stand. I've used it only with a speedlite and umbrella, but everything has worked great so far.

Comments about Manfrotto 367B Basic Light Stand - 9' (2.7m):

I use this product for various lights when videotaping interviews. It's lightweight and easy to carry, with good legs that can easily be weighted down with sandbags when required. I usually shoot in standard rooms, so the 9 foot height is sufficient. I believe there is a different stackable model if you will be carrying or storing multiple stands.

I am excited to start using these to help with lighting for weddings/receptions, portraits, etc. I have used them before but now, I own them!

Comments about Manfrotto 367B Basic Light Stand - 9' (2.7m):

It's a light stand that works as advertised and says "Manfrotto" on it.... What else needs to be said???

Comments about Manfrotto 367B Basic Light Stand - 9' (2.7m):

I use this product for video production with small lights with and without an extending arm depending on the fixture. The stand is light to carry but steady -- particularly if using sandbags when necessary. It's my second stand of this type, and the first is still going strong. Only con I've found so far is that the first few times out of the box it's a little balky when extending the legs.
