I bought 2 sets of casters - 25mm for my Main light stand and these (I think 22 mm) for my book stand. I'm very happy with both and it makes moving around my lights so much easier. It was well worth the money. Neither set came with very good instructions and it took me a little while to figure out how to properly put them on. There is a little knob on the inside of the caster "cup". Some light stands have a hole on the bottom of each leg and the knob snaps into this hole and locks the caster in place. Some light stands do not have a whole but you can still secure the caster to the leg with the screw it comes with.

Comments about Manfrotto Casters for Light Stands - Set of Three:
I was a bit apprehensive about ordering these casters for use with my new Manfrotto studio stands. They appeared to be made from a lihgtweight plastic. The actual product has proved to be very substantial and has provided added functionality to my light stands. Very pleased with these items.

Comments about Manfrotto Casters for Light Stands - Set of Three:
Not all of our stands legs fit inside, some are too big. But for any stand that will take them, we put them on. Just realize that they won't be as compact when the stand is collapsed. If you are constantly opening/closing stands, these may seem more of a hassle. But for moving around the studio, they are awesome.

Comments about Manfrotto Casters for Light Stands - Set of Three:
They are a great addition to the light stand. The only bad thing is that sometimes they don't move well.
They can't be easily attached/unattached constantly. (You would need a screwdriver and loosen one by one and keep the screws).
But it's cool to have wheeled light stand.

Go on easy. You tighten a small set screw to keep them on. If you wanted to take the stands with you, you'll need to take the wheels off to fold up the stands.
