NEEWER PRO 9feet/260cm Spring Loaded Heavy Duty Photography Photo Studio Light Stands with 1/4" Screw & 5/8 Stud for Video, Portrait and Photography Lighting (2 Packs)

Great weight to them, great height and sturdy

Nice and lightweight to transport & move around, while having a good height it can reach & take a fair bit of weight on top (with a sandbag for safety of course!)Use it regularly to hold a boom pole for recording interviews. Able to take the weight of a fully extended 16ft pole without any concerns of breaking or falling.

Very sturdy and relatively light-weight. Good spring shock absorption in case you let go whilst adjusting or letting down a heavy (and probably expensive) item on top.Only reason not given 5 stars is because the paint does scratch off a little in places where the clamps rub.

For a long time now I've been looking for a good quality heavy duty light stand for a reasonable price. Time after time they are disappointments, usually not hade from thick enough aluminium and are too flimsy. Not with these. They arrived on time in separate cardboard boxes, wrapped together in wrapping film.Just from the weight of them, I could tell that the were extremely well built and very sturdy. Each one can easily hold 5kg on a tall extension, the only con I can think of, is that they don't come with some sort of bag. Easily fixed with a folding camping chair bag that I had lying around.Always very happy with Neewer products, will defiantly order the again if needed to.

I'd originally eyed up something like the Manfrotto Nano for holding my Godox AD200 (a bit bigger than a standard speedlight) onto, however at £60+ that was off-putting.I bought this thinking it would just tide me over, however now I've got it I can see it lasting a long time.Broad legs, and 2 moveable sections means it can reach about 2.5 metres up - perfect for snappy portraits! Really solid, and whilst it isn't air-cushioned, you can feel & hear springs inside the columns which help dampen it when collapsing it down.

These are the very best stands I have ever bought in this price range. They are sturdy covering a larger floor area than most other makes but they are strong and very sturdy. Oh and taller than my old stands so no more curving when fully extended. Brewer never stop amazing me with their value and quality.

Great quality lighting stands. Perfect for supporting a full-length background roll or for holding lights. Big, strong and perfect for studio or location shoots.----- UPDATE - 18 months of regular use have left these stands useless. A tightening screw on both stands has threaded meaning that they both now only extend to half of their height.Don't waste your money.

I needed a camera mount that is tall enough provide a view of the whole of my living room at a height of 3m:Since Covid lockdown our yoga and Pilates sessions have all been via Zoom. This mount does the job brilliantly and allows us to get a live view of two people that's good enough for our instructors to see exactly what we are doing wrong!.The base is narrow enough to stand behind our sofa and stable enough to provide a steady picture. I really don't know how the product could be produced at the price!
