NEEWER C Stand with Boom Arm & Sliding Legs, Pro 100% Stainless Steel Stand Max Height 10.13ft/309cm with 3.9ft/120cm Arm & 2 Grip Heads for Photography Umbrellas, Reflectors, Softboxes and Monolights

I will break this down into two parts 1) The ordering 2) Delivery 1) Ordering is excellent with no issues along the information provided by the supplier. Even though this is classified as used, it looks brand new. Ignoring the packaging, the product is sturdy, well built and heavy. Which is exactly what I need to hold my strobe and diffuser. The parts are well made and tough. The turtle base is sturdy, reliable and tough. The large leg can go up and down, thus making it flexible and adaptable in all situations. 2) Delivery notification = 10/10, arrival 0/10. The courier left the package on my doorstep without waiting for a reply when she rang my bell. The packaging was ripped in two places. She claimed that how she received it. Her excuse for leaving it in my doorway "It's safe." Amazan has to do better when vetting these people as the package was not safe.

Mighty, awesome bit of kit. But, lightweight it is not! I mean, you can transport it if you wish, but it is really intended for studio work. Having said that, it is robust and gives a great feeling of security and stability to your setup. If you are serious about your work then this is for you.

A good sturdy stand, with gas suspension to help avoid accidents from loosening off when there is a heavy load. As is common with C Stands, it can be prone to tipping over if you aren't careful, so do be sure to order some sandbags too.

I was a tad reluctant to buy a 'Neewer' C-Stand, as the reason for purchase was the failure of the parts of both light stands in an albeit much cheaper 2 x LCD studio light kit from Neewer. This though seems a great purchase. It's big, heavy and bulky, which i wanted for my Aputure 120d Mk ii light - as you don't want your light stand to topple with almost £1k of light sitting atop! It's not going to fold up and sit in a nice carry bag that fits nicely in the boot of your car but if it holds my light without fail then I am happy with the result.

I use the C-stand for holding up flags, scrims, and long rectangular softboxes. They are sturdy, strong and offer great stability with the locking base. Can also be successfully used as a boom arm in certain situations. Great value and quality for the cost. I have seen these run out of stock on Amazon – a testimony to their popularity amongst photographers!

I ordered it since I am in the process of building a small home studio, it has served me well, it is both sturdy and versatile so can be moved and planted in many different areas. I currently use it as my main stand since it is so portable and can be used for not just lights but other equipment as well, really do recommend it.

The stand feels cheap compare to other c stands of similar price, but the unacceptable thing is that needs an alloy key to tighten the stand. Very unpractical and also was not specified by the seller.

Great stand.. holds a light and 800 soft box.. feels quality looks and work great.. solid bit of kit and way more versatile

Stabilité, fiabilité, praticité. Quand on y installe un éclairage continu c’est vraiment la confiance qui s’en dégage. Ce modèle à un pied qui peut s’adapter à différentes hauteurs. Et 2 têtes dont les réglages sont fins et bien étudiés. Je recommande ce produit qui est un investissement sur le long terme!

Wer aktuell nur normale Lichtstative nutzt: Probiert mal einen C-Stand aus! Sie sind sehr vielseitig einsetzbar und stehen auch ohne Sandsack so bombenfest (bei richtiger Anwendung), dass man fast alles an ihnen befestigen kann. Lampen, Reflektoren, Hintergründe, große Softboxen- alles kein Probelm, nicht mal mein sperriger Aputure Light Dome II. Das einzige das ich bei dem Modell hier etwas zu bemängeln habe ist, dass das aufklappen der Füße etwas strenger geht als ich es von anderen gewohnt bin. Der Haltearm ist aber selbst bei der budget Version hier so konstruiert das er sich nicht selbst lockern kann und irgendwas ungewollterweise auf den Boden kracht.

You may think from my photo that it's unstable (since 2 ppl are holding it). NOT at all true... I just had two assistants holding it due to sporadic high winds, and the legs sinking into the sand... NOW TO MY REVIEW! PROS: · Price. Can you get better? YES! Can you get better in this price range? HECK NO! · Sturdy. This bad boy is sturdy. On the day of this shoot it took a beating, and was modified to every position imaginable (in the photo for example, we'd just done a laying photo, and rather than adjust the whole stand again, I rotated & put the arm out to its max). CONS: · It's HEAVY, very heavy. That makes it difficult to adjust, but it also helped in the really high winds... People talked about how heavy this is. They weren't kidding. ADVICE: Get "baby pins", other adaptors & another grip to help with function. Get the lighter model if you're moving the stand a lot. IN SHORT Fantastic for the price. Sturdy. Heavy AF

This is a well built product. Nothing flimsy about it. It is the most stable light stand I have used. Everything can be easily secured. The center poles have air cushion at the bottom. It will save my equipment in case slip down when adjusting the heights. Good thinking! I’m glad I paid extra for the model that comes with a height adjustable 3rd leg. It provides more flexibility to use in a not flat surface or other tricky places. It is also handled the overhead shot with my Nikon D850 and heavy lenses confidently. If you are a professional, it would be a excellent choice as a long term investment. Of course, it is not a lightweight portable light stand.

Wenn man Studio Blitze übern Galgen verwendet, ist das einer der besten Stative.
