I bought two of these stands to hold speedlights that will be used to light backdrops. It comes with the 1/4" threaded stud to which you can attach an optical slave, or use the collar to attach an umbrella/softbox bracket. All clamps are metal screws threading into metal receivers, so you're NOT going to strip out plastic threads. It's a nice sized base as well, covering up to almost 3 feet. Great product for your money!

I used these stands to hold PAR 38 cans with low watt bulbs and retro-fitted barn doors in a retail store to create a specific look. I like the solidity of the stands, and the ease with which they can be extended.
I didn't like how short the threaded portion was. I had to buy wing nuts to install the cans, and felt there wasn't enough room for tightening. I would have preferred to use a couple of washers to help support the cans, but that was out of the question. As it is, I feel these wing nuts will need tightening every few days to make sure the lights are secure.

This is not a heavy duty stand, but it is just what I wanted for easy portability. Light and sturdy. I've used it several times with a speedlight mounted to it and it performed perfectly.

Great product at a great price.I shoot skateboarding and snowboarding and I didn't want to buy real expensive equipment since there is always a risk of the light stands getting hit by a skateboard or getting ran over. I definitely recommend this product to anybody who's looking for great quality stand for not a great price.

I know I'm supposed to want strobe lighting, but I like being able to see what effect placement has as I'm placing. I'm happy enough with the power and w/ 5000 K Fluorescent Daylight Balanced Light Bulbs, I'm not worried about the heat :) As for the stands: I think they're great for the price and weight!

I made up a four socket 12 inch reflector. I'm using four 100w fluorescent bulbs. I bought this stand to use with this light. It works very well and is made well. The extended height is a little over six foot. The 1/4-20 stud on top could be a little longer.

It's light and won't handle too much weight, but works perfectly for my little tungsten light and 45" umbrella. I'm not sure how it would handle with a strobe. You get what you pay for and this stand does its job. I'm a little bummed about the stud top though... I wish it were longer! It's so short that my light sometimes doesn't seem as sturdy as I would have liked.

It's a nice stand... looks great but some of the materials looks like cheaper plastic... I hope that it last as long as the manufacturer promises.

I bought two along with the umbrella/hot shoe brackets and I'm sorry I waited so long. I can put the speedlites where I want them, don't need others to hold them, and I can focus on the subject. They seem very sturdy (not bullet-proof, but I didn't want to pay for bullet-proof)and make set up MUCH easier. Highly recommended if you have basic lighting needs for a reasonable price.

This low cost stand is exactly what I expected; lightweight, compact & versatile. Won't take too much weight, but great for small lighting heads. It's new, but looks like it will hold up to repeated set-ups and strikes.

great little light stand for the money
small, lightweight, easy to use.
it isn't very heavy which can be a problem in the wind but use a sand bag or something to keep it from falling over and you'll be fine.

Nothing special about these. Decent value for the low price. In retrospect I should have spent a bit more to get taller, more heavy duty stands.

I use this for location lighting of portraits with an EZ-Box and Nikon Strobe, works fine, but isn't the smoothest piece to operate, of course it's only [$] so can't expect it to be perfect.

I use this for the times when I need to do basic portraits/head shots. It does a great job for this kind of use.
It is not too hard to take on and off the black cover.
Overall it is a great bargain umbrella!
