Heavy Duty Light Stand, Metal 13ft/4m Adjustable Photography Tripod C Stand with Spring Cushion 1/4" Screw for Studio LED Continuous Light Background Flash Strobe, Max Load: 22lb/10kg, Black

This stand is a dream come true for anyone looking to level up their studio or on-location shoots. The build quality is excellent—sturdy but lightweight—making them easy to transport without sacrificing stability. For the price, this stand delivers exceptional value. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, the Neewer Light Stands are a solid investment for your gear collection.

It's a light stand. It's cheap. It's not going to hold up a big light and massive modifier at full height--but if you don't have a gigantic rig like that, this thing works great. I have a little Falcon Eyes SO-28TD LED light. This Neewer light stand is perfect for it. Just like the product description says--it extends to 6' has a good stable base, folds up nice and small--overall a great little stand. The only thing I wish it had was a carry case--but hey--it's small enough I can toss it in the trunk of my car and take it with me on a shoot--so no biggie. If you need a decent quality, inexpensive light stand--go with Neewer--you won't be disappointed.

This is heavier and much more sturdy than most light stands. The tradeoff is weight so I would recommend this for fixed studios, but not for travel purposes *as light stands*. I have used these in place of C-Stands and am quite impresses with their sturdiness. For travel purposes, I'd consider traveling with these *as C-Stands*, and use them alongside lightweight light stands. There is a simple adapter (https://amzn.to/3MOB79H) that makes the top connecter like that of a C Stand that works great. I have used these stands with this connectors and Glide Gear Overhead Camera System (https://amzn.to/3MOB79H) with great success. I've really come to light these stands when extra studyness is required. Changing my 4 star review to a 5.

First off, these are better than the price might suggest. And for two! Will they replace any of my heavy duty light stands or C-stands? No. To be sure, they are a little bit flimsy IMO…BUT at this price…they’re cheap & cheerful. I purchased them knowing that they were simple lightweight stands. So it’s all good. And purchased with ZERO intention of replacing any of my other stands. I got these to leave at a friend’s house to shoot products/jewelry that she occasionally sells…because it was easier than taking down some of my other stands and something that she could also set up on her own with the continuous lights that I also purchased. (And yeah, I’m not about to explain the ins & outs of strobes…let alone figure out how to trigger them with a phone.) Would I trust them with a heavy-ish mono light & softbox? Inside…they seem up to the task. Outside? Not unless they were heavily sandbagged. Even then, that might be asking a bit much. BUT, given the price, for indoor use…they’re fine. Especially if one doesn’t want, or can’t, shell out the big bucks for something considerably heavier AND significantly more expensive. Even then, a sandbag isn’t out of the question if one is using a larger softbox…or has dogs near the set. ;-) So why 4 stars instead of 5? They’re decent stands but I don’t think that they can stand up to the rigours required of truly professional stands out there. And wouldn’t want to mislead anyone into thinking that they’re the same. For occasional/home use, they’re great. For location work like what I do…they’ll stay at my friend’s house.

Just bought this along with the Neewer Ring Light and together they really work so well. This stand is adjustable in so many ways and I find that it is super simple and easy to use. It is also very light weight, which makes it perfect for traveling! It stores up nicely by folding into a small, approx 2 feet long stick, which makes it ideal for traveling. The legs also fold in and have a lock to lock them in place. The only con is that due to its light weight, it is a bit flimsy when it is expanded to full length, but it is not super noticeable unless you purposely wiggle it, and I do not generally operate it at full height, so it work very well for my purposes!!

Finally, a sturdy stand that is WELL worth the price. These aren't your average stand, they are steel, and heavy, but I no longer worry about putting my lights up 13' and swaying in the breeze. I have many stands from Manfrotto, Avenger, etc. I have C stands, drop spreader stands, regular light stands, but these are now my go-to. I shoot sports on location, in gyms, on fields, and wherever the teams are at. I load them up in a wagon so weight isn't generally my biggest concern, but stability is and these are the most stable I have found. They are also spring-loaded, so they wont crash down if let down quickly(still wouldn't recommend you do that). The friction knobs are plastic, and that's what usually breaks on my stands, but they seem to be well built, and hope if I do need replacements I can find them. 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a sturdy stand.

Broke 10 months after I bought it .... And to be fair the only thing I ever put on it is a speed light. I am a wedding photographer, so I do tend to use these frequently. It has been to maybe 15 weddings and only held a speed light. The little bless black plastic piece at the neck just popped off as it was shattered. I've had a manfrotto for years that is still perfect. So needless to say I'm a little disappointed that despite its light workload, it only made it to 10 months old. I can still use it, but it's not as stable and sturdy as I would like. I would never put anything but a speed light on it now. My manfrotto is what I use for my big softboxes or anything that is heavier and I need to be reliable beyond a doubt. I spent less money on this knowing it was only going to hold speed lights and go to weddings for that very purpose. Nonetheless I'm still a little disappointed that at 10 months it no longer is capable of functioning at 100%. The manfrotto is 4 years old and has been to hundreds of weddings and still works perfectly. I understand you get what you pay for, and I'm okay with that. But this is just a warning to others to be careful what you put on one of these if you are going to move them around and use them frequently. It's very heavy duty. It's actually very heavy compared to my others and it's very stable. I'm just very disappointed at the broken plastic piece after 10 months. ....

Although this item works well I was a little bit surprised to receive a product with a good amount of rust on it! I can understand that metal does rust but for a new product to have so much rust I was a little disappointed. Otherwise this is a very strong durable light stand. I have used it for my flashes and a ring light and it is my most reliable light stand besides my C Stands but those C stands do cost an arm and a leg. I think Neewer needs a little bit more QC for this product but otherwise good item just a little bit disappointed which is why i docked 1.5 stars from this rating and another half as the spring action on mine was also not very good which may be because of the rust but i am not sure.
