Stainless Steel Stand

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Rock solid. Great product. I'm using it to mount a camera above a table for top down photography/video. The stand and arm are study, not prone to vibration and easy to adjust in all directions. I'm very happy with this product. It's one of those purchases where it more than exceeds what I expected after several false starts (desk mounts, flimsy tripods). I'm sure it will last a very long time.Functionality:Everything performs exactly as you would expect. When the clamps are tightened things stay in place. When they are loosened things are easy to move and adjust.Size:Can be made to be very tall. Not what I need, but I imagine if you had a large light with soft box this would easily position them at every height.Ease of setup:Unfold, extend, adjust angle. Done. Couldn't be simpler.

Very well made. Fit and finish on this work horse is like a jem. Very, very solid. Very good price too.

I now own 3 of these - the Neewer SC320. All are top notch & robust. I love the center spring that prevents hard drops. If you didn't know, Neewer sells caster wheels that you can put on this to roll around and lock in place.

Very durable & easy to setup definitely worth it.

I do a lot of photo and video production and have found this a fantastic light stand, one that is well designed, durable, and functional. I appreciate the quality materials and ease of adjustment as well as the ability to place it on flat or inclined/stepped surfaces. It's not lightweight by any means, but I wouldn't trust it with my expensive equipment if it was less sturdily built. In fact, it's heavy enough that you can tell it's designed more for studio work than for portable use in the field. For example, you can't align all 3 legs for easy carrying without using the included Allen wrench and it doesn't come with a carrying case/bag. Nevertheless, I've dragged it out on location simply by separating the boom from the main stand several times without much difficulty.It probably goes without saying, but if you haven't owned a c-stand before you should know that it will require a few sandbags if you're using anything semi-heavy (more than 5 or 6 pounds) on the boom, such as a continuous output light and deflector or umbrella. Neweer's brand bags are as good as any, though I use weights from an old fitness vest instead of sand so that they don't make any mess. I've found it balances a bit better with a counterweight on the boom arm too, but that's somewhat optional based on your strength and use case.All-in-all this is a very good c-stand, well worth what I paid for it.

Works well and the price is very fair! Good stability and closes without a fight!

This c stand has very solid build and definitely sturdy enough to hold you expensive gear. If you are stuck on name brands than this c stand is not for you. If you are just looking for a c stand that is built solid and sturdy and will handle the job despite little cosmetic issue and will not break the bank, than this c stand if for you. I have been testing this thing under very windy conditions of course with sand bag using a Godox AD400pro and a Neewer 300W strobe light and this thing performed like a champion. I actually do not have any qualms trusting my very expensive gear mounted on this under any circumstances. Now for the down side I have saw some reviews that talk about rust. I may see this on mine but it mostly imaginary probably because I heard this. I did see something that looks a little like it could rust but definitely not as pronounced as the review indicates and this is not the slight flaw that I am really speaking about. The foam on mine came in with a cut in it straight out the box. This is nothing that I would believe is going to last the life time of the c stand anyway. I would recommend using some tape around it any to protect it from the weather elements anyway. I don't even consider this reason to return. I know I could probably spend more money for something that will not do a better job and who know it could flaws as well. The cut in the foam is the only reason I just gave it 4 stars and if I could give it 4.5 stars I would. Gret product, save your money and get some more gear.

I purchased two of these NEEWER Stainless Steel 10.8ft C Stand with Boom Arm Pro's to use in some high volume photography projects I have going on and was very pleasantly surprised at the high end quality. They are solid, have a great weight to them and being able to get a light source up in the 10ft range is fantastic for me.My only minor complaint is that they didn't come with any sort of bag or case to store and transport them cleanly. I ended up buying this Neewer dual C-Stand case separately and love it, especially the shoulder strap because these C-Stands are NOT light. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CK226XVW)
