Pro C Stand with Boom Arm, Heavy Duty Light Stand for Photography Studio Video Reflector, Monolight, Softbox and Other Equipment

Very dissapointed. Received the stand, which seems to be made out of solid materials, however the stand is broken. The pictures will speak for themselves.The bottom part of the stand, that inserts in the base, has a part that can be unscrewed to gain access to the spring. Well, after mounting the stand in the base, the stand fell apart and the bottom part fell out.Remember, I mentioned it can be screwed and unscrewed. Thought to myself, easy fix, I can screw this back on in no time.To bad, the thread is also gone..looking closer you can tell THAT part is really poorly made.I forgot to take additional pictures of the stand itself, but it`s pretty scratched as well.Not sure what to make of this. I hope the seller will respond and fix this issue. I`ll keep you updated.Update 16/10Changed my rating back to 5 stars. The seller was extremely cooperative and replaced the stand with a brand new that had absolutely no issues. As to the build, y’all know ..this is a tank stand!!!

This is a pretty decent C-stand at a very good, high value price. And the 48" boom really is 8" longer than the typical 40" boom. HOWEVER - that 48" boom is light, hollow, surprisingly flexible, and bows and bounces a bit alarmingly under the weight of a typical setup like a 60-150 watt COB LED (e.g. Godox SL60W or Apurture 120D) with a small softbox attached.As others have said, the "bag" is a joke - just a few layers of cheap polyester stitched together, weak polyester straps and brittle plastic buckles that arrived broken in the box. So don't think that's adding any value to your purchase, mine literally went straight into the trash. Get it for the longer-than-usual boom and the otherwise decent construction for the price. But don't be thinking it's a Matthews or even a Kupo, because it's definitely not.

The stand looks sturdy and feels it, but it failed so hard for me during a client shoot. The screw on the first part stripped and it just rotates uncontrollably. Luckily I had a clamp in my tool chest and was able to secure it. Very unprofessional tho to have that happen during a shoot. I thought by pay for this stand I would have confidence for it to stay put, man did it disappoint when I needed it the most. Failed!

C Stands arrived sooner than promised. The box was battered. This package includes plastic clamps & a carrying case not pictured. The stands are heavy! It's a good value but note that it is a less expensive set so there may be some blemishes or finish issues on the tensioners to extend/or retract the poles.I had an issue, contacted the company right away & they made good. Five star service.

I had ordered a private label version of this stand previously and was really impressed with the strength and build quality. This stand is identical to the other model and it is just as impressive. Holds my Aputure 120's and octoboxes with ease. I would not hesitate to buy more if needed. Stand arrived in 4 days and I saved about $30, so I'm happy.

Absolute beats the more expensive brands. Been using it for a while and hasn't failed. I am using this with a monolight + 48" parabolic softbox for my indoor studio. worked out great. will buy again

I wish I would've cought 2 at the same time! These damn things are perfect!!!! From weight to price to ruggedness... A1 PRODUCT!!!

It does what it was built for, sturdy and heavy duty.
