NEEWER Photography Light Stand, 7 Feet / 210cm Aluminum Alloy Photo Studio Tripod Stands for Video, Portrait and Photography Lighting, Reflectors, Soft boxes, Umbrellas, Backgrounds (2 Pieces)

Excellent product, very resistant

Well made stands, typical Neewer high quality product for home studio

The 5* is for the product quality and quantity in relation to price. There is nothing wrong with the product itself, great price for two good stands. At full extension they can be a little wobbly, but that would be the case for any stand for anything.Waaaay to much packaging, there were four cardboard boxes, lots of paper wrapping and then plastic wrapping to get through until you reached the actual product. It's a sad waste of cardboard and plastic.

These stands are just as you’d expect; lightweight but reasonably sturdy. The max height is fairly accurate (you can get a bit more height depending on how far you spread the legs).Suitable for holding a reflector or lightweight background, or small bare flashhead/speedlight without a soft box that might cause it to topple. You might get away with a 400w size head but it may be too unstable.Each stand comes packed in its own draw-string bag to help keep things tidy when not in use. In all a good little set

I needed two very lightweight light stands that could be carried on public transport for a shoot. The Newers were the lightest and smallest folding I could find. Previously I've had more heavyweight Lishuai stands.So fold up small, very light and easy to set up if using smallish lights. The supplied camera bags are a joke and both split on first use. These are just a gimmick to make you think you will save money on bags, you won't so dont use the "free bag" as a reason to purchase.Have used the stands around a dozen times, one has already broken with one of the section collars no longer gripping so that stand can't be extended to full height.They were cheap, did the job I needed them for but when I have some spare cash will be replacing with something from Manfrotto.If you are a light user (excuse the pun) and not lugging the stands around too much they maybe for you, otherwise don't expect them to last too long. My Lishuai stand is 7 years old and in fine working order but flippin heavy.

I did not realise I was getting two.Lightweight but ok for light use

Don't go in with high expectations but these will definitely get the job done. I'm dubious as to how long they'll last but, for the price, I can't fault them.

Far too lightweight for anything other than a v small LED lamp. It is not strong enough to hold anything vaguely substantial and won’t start up. ... which gets looser and worse the more you use it. Don’t waste your cash. I have plenty of Neewer equipment but this just isn’t up to the job. Would return if I could.
