222cm/87in Photography Light Stand Foldable Designed Aluminum Alloy Studio Sturdy Tripod Stand with Carry Bag for Portrait, Video Studio Shooting, Softbox, Umbrellas

I needed lightweight stands to travel around Europe on planes, trains, etc. They needed to be small enough to fit in a carry-on case. At 49.5cm and 635 grams each, these were ideal. Be careful not to use a light and reflector that is too heavy, especially if working in a windy location. You just need some weight on the legs to handle that situation. Height at just over 2m tall, these are ideal for most standing interviews. I use the stands with my small Colbor CL100X or Colbor CL220R lights and have one to act as a Mic boom stand. Very happy videographer and will buy a few more.

It’s light and easy to move about. I like it but a little stiff and sometimes annoying. Just okay

This is my second Fosoto light stand - the format was a smaller one for use photographing dogs but I needed a taller stand for human subjects.I was impressed enough by my small stand that I bought the same make again and so far, no regrets. It's very well put together, weighs very little and collapses into an amazingly small size.Obviously, the pay off is that it's a but wobbly at full extension and I won't be sticking any massive, heavy modifiers up there but it's fine for a large flash and a brollie for instance.In summary, excellent value for money, seems to be lasting well, works perfectly and highly portable which is exactly what I wanted.

Great stand to look at but too flimsy when using at at weddings… After my second wedding the parts started to fall off, unfortunately.Would have loved this stand to have been great for more than a couple of weddings… all I had was a speed light mounted on top, so not a heavy item.

Very light weight and not much use with anything heavier than a speed light, and is also too short to be considered as a serious light stand, but that’s not why I bought it. I offer 360 degree virtual tours and was struggling to find a tripod which was narrow enough and didn’t have a head on it so that I could spend less time editing the final output image, and this fits the bill perfectly. It also folds up incredibly small and unpacks quickly with a smooth action and decent twist locks.So, to summarise, probably not much use as a light stand, but perfect for use with a 360 camera.

Looked at reviews of these and I dunno I was expecting a bit more on the tonka toy of things it just seems smaller than expected .

I bought two of these stands. They're lightweight and compact and easy to transport. Great for personal/home use, but if you're using them in a semi-pro/professional setting, they are finicky.The twist lock isn't smooth but stiff, so it's difficult to gauge whether it's fully locked or not. Even when you think it's fully locked, sometimes a section drops.When moving it around with a light attached, it's very wobbly. The rubber feet also do stay attached and I've already lost two of them.Personally might be worth spending the extra money to get the Manfrotto or Dedolight nano stands that are much sturdier and more reliable.
