NEEWER Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Light Stand with Casters, ST240SS

Sturdy well built junior stand, held my 2x2 inflatable on a 1.5m arm without the need for sandbags. The ability to remove casters is nice. They need to be bolted to the outer holes not inner ones as in this listings pictures. The baby pin doesn’t have horizontal mode but not a dealbreaker for the price.

Heavy duty, solid sturdy light stand which comes with a junior recover but also a retractable 5/8ths baby pin. Wheels were larger than expected which was nice and are also rock solid ha e no worries with this stand so far?

Sturdy & looks good. Perfect for heavy lamps like my HMI.

good, but feels unstable and like it will break under constant use

Sehr stabil , das ist wirklich gut gearbeitet und hat Gewicht , habe jetzt iom Betrib, sowas von überascht. Mega Stabil sieht Gut und Professionel aus.

でかい！重い！だが安定感と安心感がある！

I can't say enough good things about the Neewer SS240 rolling combo stand. If you're looking for a review on the SS305W rolling baby studio stand just scroll down farther in this review. I bought the combo stand specifically to use with my new GVM sd500b-AIO, which is a 500w LED cob light that doesn't have a separate ballast. That means it's quite a heavy light and it needs a beefy stand, especially when using a soft box or other modifier with it. I can't afford Matthews, Avenger, or American brand stands on my budget. So having this option is great. I DID get this one "used" on Amazon for nearly half off, but it was basically just an open box model. I will happily pay less for an open box one. This stand fits the bill perfectly. I did opt to use a junior-to-baby adapter pin for stability and safety reasons. This light provides a heavy duty functionality, while not being as heavy as an equivalent combo stand from Matthews/Avenger. It makes it easier to carry and load in my vehicle to take it on location. The wheels are smooth rolling and they're very handy to use, but if you really need that extra stability you can take them off and put the legs directly on the ground. The max height isn't a tall as some combo stands, but if you use a baby-stand extension, you can get a couple more feet of height if you need it. I'll probably order a used one off eBay or something. I'd really like to get a second one of these so I could possibly use them to hold a butterfly frame or something like that. So I'll keep watching for another open box model to come up for sale. For the price, you can't do better than this. I also bought the SS305W rolling baby stand and that's awesome too. Same thing, I got it listed as "used" but it was just an open/damaged box model. What surprised me was how lightweight it was when I picked it up. But it's still nice and strong even at max height. I put an Arri 1k Fresnel on it to test it out in my garage, and I had the light clear up in the rafters. This stand has more max height than the combo stand, although it's maybe not as sturdy because of the design of the legs/feet. This stand is more meant for studios or indoor locations with hard floors. I probably wouldn't use it outside on uneven terrain. Make sure to sandbag it if you use it on location, you can also use a couple ratchet straps to keep it solid and in-place if you have it at maximum height. I'm definitely going to have plenty of uses for it and I'll probably buy another used one at a discount when I get the chance. Use some blue thread lock when you install the wheels. This will keep them from unscrewing when you use the stand.

This is definitely heavy duty. Much heavier weightwise, than my other stands. The wheels roll great, which is what I was looking for. Because it is heavy, when I raise the pole to make it higher, you have to make sure to really tighten the screw or it will slip down because of the weight of it. Im happy with my purchase.

È molto bello da vedere, le ruote sono stabilissime e fluide che sembrano stabilizzate. Ottimo prodotto
