I tend to be rough on stands as I mostly do location photography. So far, these stands have put up with the abuse I have put them through. They have a nice wide footprint too, which is very useful when I have my boom arm with strobe, med. softbox and 11lb counterweight. The don't wobble at all with this setup, and I feel safe that the rig won't come crashing down on the model or client. That's a plus.

This is a good stand for the money. There are better, higher quality stands out there but this works just fine for a standard studio strobe and medium sized soft box. I would not recommend using it as a background support or a boom support. All in all it is not a bad product.

        Comments about Impact Heavy Duty Light Stand, Black - 13' (4m):

        I highly recommend this stand for normal weight items, if you are using very heavy items I wouldn't go too high with it and always have a sand bag or something heavy to help keep the light stand balanced.

                    Excellent inexpensive stand for remote mics. You will need to get a 1/4" to 3/8" threaded adapter to add a clip or stereo bar. Money well spent!

                      This light stand is well designed and has large knobs that tighten easily. Height and leg spread adjustments have separate knobs. the design is very stable and offers extra height.

                          So far a great buy. Compact, light-weight and strong. I'll need a sandbag, but who doesn't?

                          I'll be using this for on-site portrait and product shoots.

                                  The Impact light stand is tall, strong and solid. Those are the reasons for which I bought it, and those are the reasons for which I'll keep it! TERRIFIC hardware!

                                  In my opinion, the Interfit flash/umbrella attachment is, for all intents and purposes, a perfect fit.

                                    I use these stands for just about anything. Specifically I purchased them to be used with my portable background support system as the stands that came with the system were too short.

                                    I also use the stands for lights for studio work as well as weddings and large group shots. Some complain that they are heavy, but that is relative.

                                    Over all, a great product and I will be buying more!

                                        Great value for the low price. I used this for for the first time for an on-location portrait shoot recently and was very pleased: It is lightweight, portable, and easy to set-up but very stable. Very quick to set up. No complaints at all. Very impressed.

                                              I received mine a few weeks ago and so far it's been holding up my AB800 and large softbox very well.

                                              If you don't mind the lack of air-cushioning, this is a very solid stand.

                                              Not overly heavy.

                                                I'm using these hot hold my Whitelightnings or muslin. You just have to be careful bring the lights down because they are not air cushioned. The hight is nice for shooting group photos.

                                                  The only thing about these I'd change is that I would prefer to have the flip lock type, column locks instead of the twist. Personal preference. Other than that, these are great stands for the price. Highly recommend.
