Comments about Avenger A630B Black Light Stand, Black - 10.8' (3.27m):
I bought the Avenger because I heard it mentioned in a video (I think it was Zack Arias' One-Light DVD). This is a nice stand that is lightweight for it's size. As a beginner with lighting, I was surprised at the size. We all know how high 10.8' is, but man... when you extend this thing it seems gigantic. So far, I really like it.

I use this stand mainly for an Alien Bee light. It works perfectly in my studio and on location. It seems to be pretty durable and is very easy to use. In very windy situations you will need someone to hold it so it doesn't fall over.

Sounds corny to refer to a light stand this way but, if you've ever worked with flimsy stands you'll know where I'm coming from on this. This is well worth the money! I use it to hold continuous and strobe lights, modified backdrops, or offset arms.
Until you feel it in your hand it's hard to appreciate its sturdiness and ease of use. It's tall too!

i'm really happy with it. its much lighter. the staff didnt know about this one, because its not a floor model and they kept suggesting a manfrotto, but the manfrotto have a 4 foot minimum height. a bit too high for sitting interviews.

It is weird to be writing a review about a stand but this stand is a joy to use right out of the box. A great medium duty everyday stand will also work with booms etc. It seems to be a perfect balance of weight, hight, footprint, ease of use and strength I have a few and would like a few more.

I loved these stands from the moment I took them out of the box and installed the Manfrotto wheels. They are very easy to setup and adjust very smoothly.

I've only used this light stand a few times so far (for video production lighting), but it works great! It's not air cushioned, so you have to be careful to never let it drop suddenly while a light is attached, but I think that's probably wise even if it is air cushioned.

I've been using the small, portable fold up stands as recommended by strobist. This came recommended by OneLight. It is much more solid. Much larger. Much taller. I'm considering a couple more of these for background holders.

I've used a half dozen of these on many location shots and am very satisfied with their performance. I also transport them loose -- no shipping cases here -- and they take a beating and still function as well as the first day I bought them.

I use this product to hold my Canon flash or my Alien Bee with a Wescott softbox attached. If I'm on location, I use sandbags to make sure the setup doesn't topple over because it is lightweight but solid at the same time. I just don't want to see my lights go crashing on the ground or take flight with a gust of wind. I've been VERY pleased with the Avenger light stand thus far and I've owned 2 of them for 6 months now.

This is a very sturdy stand. I can compare it to a cheap promaster stand, and this stand is great for a strobe with any size softbox. I have 3 of these, and use 2 of them for the backdrop. Works great.

I use these stands for lighting as well as for hanging backgrounds. Just ordered another one. They are great, reliable, stands.
