Amazon Basics Aluminum 80"/2.04m Light Stand with Case for Studio and On-Location Photos, 2.69lbs/1.22kg, Max Load 6.98lbs/3.17kg, Adjustable Height, Portable, Compact Storage - Black

Nice and compact and do the job they pay sturdy and a light in weight it was easy to build use continuously for my light jobs

I am super happy with this light-weight stand. It exceeded my expectations for the low price. I'm using it with light-weight cameras (Brinno, Insta360) for panoramic and time-lapse photography. It's ideal for me as I don't have to worry about leaving an expensive tripod outside for long periods.Build quality and finish is good. The adjustment clamps are simple plastic. So care needs to be taken not to over-stress or over-tighten. My camera set-ups weights are up to 500g and the stand handles this well. I use a make-shift sandbag tie down if the stand is being used outside and fully extended.If you are looking for something that is low-cost and lightweight, I would highly recommend. If you have a more substantial camera or heavy lights etc, you probably need to look at a more robust stand.Carry case is a bonus. Well done Amazon for another Brilliant Basics

These stands are very good value for the casual photographer/videographer. They are cheap and light weight and extend up to about 7 feet. I’ve had an 80cm sqr softbox on one of these without any issue. I would advise putting a weighted bag on the feet to ensure complete stability. They would not suit a professional or anybody intending to mount heavy lights of modifiers as they are much too thin to withstand such equipment. I can’t imagine them standing up to any rough treatment or usage outdoors if the wind is blowing.I give them 4 stars as they are cheap but still provide great functionality for the casual or careful user who doesn’t want or need expensive more heavily built stands.

Light weight and stable. Easy to assemble

Surprisingly good quality for the price, and includes a handy carry bag.

This was the second set of tripods I bought, 1st from Amazon Basics, and I didn't like it. Maybe it's just me, but the foots were too tight to open, what gave me an impression that they'd break apart soon. An other issue was that the telescopic nodes don't permit to twist whatever is in the tripod and I, myself, find this not good when I need to adjust the angle of the lights on them. 3 star because it's not all bad, but did't work for me.

Brought this to use on my laser level. Went for this given it can go up to 2m. Sturdy and light weight and has a fixed head so you can't adjust the angle just the height.

Good value.. use sandbags if you are going you use heavier kit ..
