Customer Review: Great portable stand!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great portable light stand. When I say portable, I mean you can run around an event with one of these, or move it around a studio set with ease. This stand is amazingly light, especially considering it can extend to ten feet. This portability, combined with a light flash, means you'll be more versatile with the ability to move portrait locations to anywhere, anytime. The air cushioning is a mixed blessing, as it helps on setup and adjustment when you have some weight at the top, but also slows you to a crawl when you try to collapse it.
PROS:
+Lightweight build
+Extends to ten feet, which is great for large group shots
+Light build look doesn't look out of place in single- or double-subject shots, the way other ten+ footers can
+Air cushioning keeps this thing from slamming down when flash or strobes are attached
CONS:
-Light build means this thing can't hold an especially heavy lighting rig *especially* when extended to ten feet (must keep it to lightweight strobes or flash heads)
-Quick collapse to put it back in storage is absolutely not possible due to the air cushioning
(Note: I have two of these stands, having purchased them with the intent on using them outdoors for location portraits. I have not been able to use them outdoors yet, but I'll edit this post on their usefulness as location stands when I use them a bit outdoors.)
