    Among the budget-friendly light stands, this is the best one.

    This is the best budget-friendly light stand I’ve used. Unlike other light stands in the same price range, this one doesn’t let the lights drop suddenly when you loosen the adjustment knobs.

    Lightweight, compact

    For small (not heavy) lights, these are great. I mainly use them for speed lights with various modifiers. I would not feel comfortable putting a heavier light on these at any real height. But for my use, they work very well. These stands don't weigh much, and collapse enough to fit easily into my gear bag. Easy to move them around.
