NEEWER 13ft/4m Air Cushioned Light Stand, Heavy Duty All Metal Photography Tripod Stand with 1/4” to 3/8” Reversible Spigot, 3 Way Mounting Interface & Metal Locking Knobs, Max Load 6.5lb/3kg

Sturdy tripod. Bought this to hoist a XBotGo Chameleon in the air to film soccer games. Worked perfect without any extra parts needed. The threads work and I just screw it on. Can't beat the price! I almost bought the official one but this one was $100 cheaper and works amazing for what I need!

These things are solid. You know they are good when they are heavy. I use them for off camera flash and they work just fine. Very sturdy

Bought for my new XbotGo camera. Works well and very sturdy for 1/3rd of cost of XbotGo stand.

The build quality of this stand is something I haven't seen from Neewer before! Such nice thick knuckles, the single mold pieces on each riser seems just like the big brand name builds.The height of this stand is so so great, I love the four risers, something quite new for Neewer with the nearly 10 foot tall height.The safety feature of this stand I really like with the pneumatic dampening. If a knuckle accidentally loosens or someone walks by and rests their hand on the stand which inadvertently loosens it, which DOES actually happen, then the light on the stand would slowly fall and not slam down. And what is nice is that it slowly falls from the instance of loosening, unlike a spring loaded stand where it would pick up speed falling fast and then hit a spring, it lowers slowly right away.I'm a fan of the 1/4" inch screw on the half baby pins on these stands, as well as the 3/8" thread on the opposite. I'm also a fan of how the baby pins can be removed and or replaced.Now here's the biggest con in my mind that would steer me away from buying this stand... The stand is simply too small, and too light weight for the majority of lights I have, even Neewer branded lights.. the new CB60 lights I got I would not fly these on, I think you would need some very lightweight lights to use with this stand.My favorite Neewer stand is still the silver steel 102" inch stand, it's tall and sturdy. It can hold 99% of my lights that accommodate the half baby pins.https://amzn.to/40dtxtl

Very impressive how well-made this is. Feels stronger and better made than my American-branded ones.

The NEEWER 9.8ft/3m Air Cushioned Light Stand is an excellent addition to my photography gear! I use it with a large softbox and my AD600, and it handles the weight with ease—no wobbling or signs of wanting to tip over. The air-cushioned feature adds extra security when adjusting the height, and the metal locking knobs feel solid and secure.As a professional photographer, I need equipment I can rely on for heavy use, and this stand truly stands up to the task. I’m already a huge fan of the NEEWER brand, and this product reinforces why I trust their gear. Durable, well-built, and dependable- this stand is for anyone looking for quality at a great price!

Legs and upright were of decent quality, but clamps and screw heads are plastic and might not last. In photo they look like cast aluminum.
