PRO 9ft/260cm Heavy Duty Spring Loaded Photography Light Stands

It is steel not aluminum

These stands are amazing for the price. I use these for mounting LED lights while shooting videos. These are sturdy and are also spring-loaded, like cushioning. love these. I use sandbags when using bigger LEDs.

レビューも少なくNEEWERの製品で同じ長さ（260cm）の物でより安い製品がありましたが、こちらにして大正解でした！ 私の場合、会議で使う120インチのプロジェクター用スクリーンを吊り下げる為に買ったのですが 司会者がスタンドの廻りを歩きますし、不用意に当たっても少々なら大丈夫な物を探してました。 届いた商品は足の開き具合、剛性感、安定性、高さ共に申し分なく、伸縮シャフトの中にスプリングが入ってるのもgoodで 不意に緩めてしまってもショックをスプリングが吸収してくれる作りなので、スピーカーやライトなどの機材も安心して使用出来そうです。 今回のこの商品を選んだ決め手は、「ヘビーデューティアルミ」と書いてあった事と「商品重量4.08 Kg、発送重量5.6 Kg」だった事です そっくりの比較してた商品は安いのですが https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00L4YR0BS/ref=psdc_2285062051_t2_B00WS9XPK8 は「商品重量2.9ｋｇ、発送重量2.9ｋｇ」 発送重量2.9ｋｇと言う事は２脚で梱包材も含めて2.9ｋｇでしょうし、そうすると１脚では半分の1.5ｋｇ以下？ 絶対に重い方が頑丈だろうと言う考え方は多分大正解だったと思います！ 実際の重量も図りましたが一脚で2.5ｋｇありました。重量はそこそこありますが、その分安定感は増しますので 私の用途には最高のお値段、最高のクオリティーでした！伸ばす長さにも寄りますが、超小型のスピーカーや家庭用ビデオカメラ程度なら全然ＯＫ 低く設置すればそこそこのスピーカー等でも何とか大丈夫そうな感じです。私は写真も撮りますので背景用スクリーンでも 大型ストロやソフトボックスやアンブレラでも活躍してくれそうで、これからが楽しみです。本当に良いお買い物ができました！

These are very very affordable. If you have ever bought stands from a physical retail store, you will appreciate just how affordable these are. I expected them to be light and wobbly (which would have been fine as I needed them for speedlites) but they are actually heavy and sturdy. (I ended up ordering even lighter ones from Neewer because these were too heavy for constant travel). I would not use them for boom arm supports, but they will hold any strobe with most heavy attachments. I currently use them to hold up backgrounds, sliders, heavier anchor items, etc. They are spring-dampened, which is both good and bad. It helps soften the drop of the shaft with lighter items such as speedlites or light strobes, but may become an issue with heavier items. I gave them 4 starts for durability because some of the plastic knobs feel like they may break over time, but that is an easy fix: buy any screw that fits.

These are real nice and sturdy light stands. They are spring-loaded, but that's not the same as stands that have that soft collapsing function, where if you do unloosen one of the sections and the light comes down, it kind of slowly goes down. If you happen to unloosen one of the sections and the stand comes down quickly, all it does is hit the bottom and spring back up. You can still do a lot of damage to your equipment and anyone that might be standing close. Other than that, these stands are really solid. They are tall even when packed down, so they are not ideal for travel. You are going to have to put this in a long light stand or C-stand case. They are too long for checked-in luggage and definitely too long for carry-on.

They are bigger than expected but pretty good and stable, quality not bad. These two are my firsts option when I do a photoshoot, I definitely recommend them.
