NEEWER Pro 9feet/260cm Spring Loaded Heavy Duty Photo Studio Light Stand with 1/4" Screw & 5/8 Stud for Video, Portrait and Photography Lighting

Nice and lightweight to transport & move around, while having a good height it can reach & take a fair bit of weight on top (with a sandbag for safety of course!)Use it regularly to hold a boom pole for recording interviews. Able to take the weight of a fully extended 16ft pole without any concerns of breaking or falling.

This is my very first light stand, and I am glad I got it from Neewer. I think I am gradually building a loyal relationship with the brand, as it has always serve the purpose. It is very lightweight and easy to assemble with the whole set I got. It is also very steady, and I left it standing for over a month, and it only moves when I move it.

I use this Neewer light stand with the Neewer CB60B 70W constant light attached. I use them in the 12x12x8ft space I use for table top pack shots and still life photography.It is heavier than I expected which is very good, has excellent spring dampers, feels stable with a light and softbox attached. I will reserve judgement on the durability of plasticky feeling material used on the twist locks.Otherwise, a good four stars for price and might get five after a year's usage.

For a long time now I've been looking for a good quality heavy duty light stand for a reasonable price. Time after time they are disappointments, usually not hade from thick enough aluminium and are too flimsy. Not with these. They arrived on time in separate cardboard boxes, wrapped together in wrapping film.Just from the weight of them, I could tell that the were extremely well built and very sturdy. Each one can easily hold 5kg on a tall extension, the only con I can think of, is that they don't come with some sort of bag. Easily fixed with a folding camping chair bag that I had lying around.Always very happy with Neewer products, will defiantly order the again if needed to.

well, that is why I love the reviews system, I could not tell from the picture if this as good as it seamed, but after reading the reviews and asking for details, I went for it and I can tell you that indeed this is a good buy, well made, sturdy and great value, arrived well packed and very fast.It's almost entirely made of metal (expect for those plastic butterfly shaped knobs that tighten the screws) there are rivets as opposed to nuts and bolts but these are not big issues. The whole thing feels very solid, and extends to 2.6 meters high. For the price you can't ask for more

You get what you pay for is the old saying and it definitely applies to these stands. cheap but not so cheerful!Positives: Tall. reasonable thickness of sections for sturdiness. CheapNegatives: They are spring loaded, but it is a very weak spring. It will not protect your light from jarring or your hand from being pinched unless it is a feather weight strobe. I just used a mid weight Godox and small Lightbox and the spring couldn't cope!.Locking handles are flimsy plastic. I don't expect they will last long!I have learned my lesson. They seem like a bargain, but I'm guessing they will need replacing in the not too distant future.

I needed a camera mount that is tall enough provide a view of the whole of my living room at a height of 3m:Since Covid lockdown our yoga and Pilates sessions have all been via Zoom. This mount does the job brilliantly and allows us to get a live view of two people that's good enough for our instructors to see exactly what we are doing wrong!.The base is narrow enough to stand behind our sofa and stable enough to provide a steady picture. I really don't know how the product could be produced at the price!

Fantastic, now purchased two of these
