Comments about Manfrotto 368B Basic Black Light Stand - 11' (3.3m):
Tall, lightweight, and durable. Great travel gears. Must be secured with sandbags or other gears. Does not fold as easy as my other expensive Bogen stands, but @ 1/2 the price, and light enough to carry anywhere, well worth it. Watch your hardwood floor, or go to [...] and get some of the rubber feet for it.

Excellent stand, highly recommended. Lightweight but sturdy. I use it to record concerts. I attach a stereo mic bar and a couple mics and I'm good to go.

This is a design that has been duplicated by many various manufacturers. BUY THIS ONE!
The few dollars you'll pay extra for a Manfrotto will be worth it to you over the long haul. The quality of workmanship and durability will make up for the higher cost.

I use this to photograph products on a tabletop set up. They are longer than my need require but I could use them on other set ups in the future.
I like that they are light and that I can store them easily under furniture at home.
At the beginning they were a bit tight but now they open easily.

Sturdy, strong (probably more than I need - using this with a shoe mount flash).
Does the job well - and looks pro.

Comments about Manfrotto 368B Basic Black Light Stand - 11' (3.3m):
The sections are still a bit sticky after a few times of use and I think they are going to stay that way. Both stands have this issue. They're not too smooth going up and down. I'd spend the money and buy the air cushioned ones in the future. But these do the job for what I use them for. They are really light too.

This brand stays for quality. But for a lightstand 11' high it is shaky fully extended with strobe plus softbox on top (I'm using Hensel). On the other hand the price is more than reasonable. So it is a fair compromise.

I use this stand with a 430 EXII and a Bowens 45" umbrella. It is light weight and fairly easy to adjust. Very stable and can hold the weight of the umbrella.

Very high stand. Low price. But it's a light stand and not extra strong. I use it with my speedlight (with umbrella or speedlight softbox).

I bought this because I needed a taller stand. Well, it's tall. What else can you say about that? The construction is solid and light-weight. Affordable quality.

It's a light stand. A tall one, 11'. I like it fine. It has twist tighteners and not levered clamps. I think I would have preferred levered clamps, they'd be quicker to adjust. The price was right.
