Functions well, clamps seem to hold and are easy to use. Air cushion works.
2 complaints but there minor:
1) the leg lock/unlock mechanism is a bit tough to use at times. Seems like it does not want to unlock. Its a twist to lock setup.
2) The legs themselves could spread wider. It lacks some stability IMO as compared to other stands I have used in the same price range. The stand works fine for my needs, but I MUST weight it outside with any umbrella. Even inside, with a 60" umbrella it feels a bit wobbly. I make sure I point the legs the same direction as the umbrella points but a bit more secure feeling.

Comments about Giottos 210 Air Cushioned Light Stand - 7':
Well built, professional style stand. Easy to work. However, the base is much smaller than the specifications indicate. So much so, I found the base to be disappointing. I would expect a wider base for professional use. The stand is still usable, but it will require sandbags to keep it stable with a large softbox.

Comments about Giottos 210 Air Cushioned Light Stand - 7':
I purchased these to replace the Impact Stands that came with my 5-Lamp Fluorescent fixtures. The Impact stands in the kit were not sturdy enough for the fixtures and would actually bend forward when extended over four feet high. These handle the heavy fixtures much better.

I use these stands along with Chimera extra-small light boxes and wireless flash units. The stands are sturdy, light, and very easy to setup. I've been using them for over a year on a regular basis and they've proven to be durable.
