This 8' Photogenic Light Stand with 25" Caster Base has a 5/8" top stud. Caster base stands have a lower center of gravity than standard light stands, and are therefore more stable with heavier loads.

Not suitable for professional use

Assembly: Getting the casters into the base requires (per Photogenic tech support) a household brick or 2x4 and a mallet. So if you don't happen to have these items in your studio, be prepared to purchase or bring from home. The casters are press fitted into the legs and are held in place with a brass ring. Per tech support, I'm to place the legs upside down on a hard surface - one that may easily scratch the surface - and use a mallet to pound the wheels into the sockets. When I attempted this the wheel appeared to go into the socket, but in fact the brass ring pushed out of the groove and the wheel promptly fell right out. The other wheels were relatively easy, but this one fought me for about 30 minutes. I finally won. Functionality: Well the main purpose of a light stand is to hold lights. Where I put them. I have Matthews and Avenger stands and a couple of cheap stands that came with a couple of small LED panels. All the stands do a great job of staying at the height I put them. Not this Photogenic stand. Raise... Tighten... Push... And down it goes. I cranked the knob HARD and the stand pushes right down with maybe 15 lbs of force. I wanted a rolling stand with 5 legs for increased stability when moving the stand. But a stand needs to actually hold my lights at the desired height and if it can't perform that simple task then the manufacture should either redesign it or call it something else. If you are looking for a decent stand, an Avenger or Matthews stand will cost about the same and work flawlessly for years. So save yourself the hassle and return shipping cost and go with Matthews or Avenger right from the start. (Other stands may be equally good but I can only vouch for what I have used)

I thought the price for these stands was too high until I unpacked and assembled them. They are very sturdy, heavy, well worth the price. The only drawback is the adapter is a bit difficult to attach.
