Review: Great for mobile or athlete photographers!! - I have been using the CheetahStand C8 for 4 months now and it is the best money I have ever spent on any stand, hands down. It is extremely light, but very well made. Holds my heavier strobes with no problem and is perfect for shooting families and seniors on location due to its auto fold up and fold down feature. I shoot a lot of seniors in the city and this is so much better to move and carry around because it eliminates trying to walk with the stand feet constantly in the way. I also shoot a lot of athletes and one of the main reasons I chose this one over a cheaper competitor was due to the coating on the bottom. I saw lots of complaints about the feet pads falling off the competitor. Shooting on gym floors I needed something that would not scratch the floors up and this is beyond perfect. I cannot recommend this stand enough and actually came back here today to purchase another one of these stands.
Review: Not worth the money - I am a wedding photographer and I do a good amount of weddings/engagement shoots throughout the year. I bought this October of last year 2024. After a year, the screws for adjusting the levels ⬆️⬇️have worn out. Plus the stand is not sturdy. I also use a Godox Ad200, which mostly works fine on the stand, but I’m always worried it might tip over. Honestly, it’s not worth the price I paid.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Automatically collapsing legs - my new best friend!
*by S***Y on November 19, 2013*

If you're a wedding photographer who uses off-camera lighting, this will be your new best friend. Once you've experienced automatically collapsing legs you'll want to sell all of your other c-stands. Wanna buy mine? LOL Cheetah stands are amazing. I own both the 8 foot and the 12 foot, and they both have their roles. On big weddings where I'll be photographing a large group for formals, I bring the 12 footer because it can handle my 7" Parabolic shoot-through umbrella. The 7' parabolic would tip-over the 8 footer, even if weighted down with shot / sand bags. On the other hand, the 8 footer is significantly lighter and more portable and much easier to drag around a huge casino or big hotel. I love them both and will get more soon.
