Amazon Basics 2-Pack Aluminum 80"/2.04m Light Stand with Case for Studio and On-Location Photos, 1.81 lb / 821 g per Stand, Adjustable Height, Portable, Compact - Black

Needed a basic light stand with good height for an Aputure light at the rear of my office. There are so many to choose from but this was basic, inexpensive, relatively sturdy for indoor use, and it more than does the job

Portable and versatile, easy to use

Ordered a light stand for a new studio flash and this does the job well. Lightweight but strong, easy and simple to handle and setup and comes with a carrying case. The problem I have is, I bought a brand new one but what I received was definitely not new! The case was delivered stained and dirty! So it’s either a return after someone spilled coffee on it or there’s some dodgy gangbanging going on in the Amazon warehouse! Loses 1 star for Amazon’s warehouse handling, otherwise a great light stand.

Obviously a light-weight and basic product, which is just what I wanted. I already carry too much heavy gear! These stands open up my ability to put speedlights where I need them. Being able to create my own light where I need it opens the door to many more photographic possibilities. Having recently worked with a professional photographer I now realise how useful it is to create the light I want where I want it. I use a Sony a9iii camera with global shutter which means I can use flash at any shutter speed therefore the flash guns don't need to be big and powerful and expensive - consequently the light stands don't need to be big, heavy and expensive either - easier to carry around therefore much more likely to be used more.

I was so sceptical about moving away from my tried and tested brand of light stands but these surprised me. Very sturdy and smooth to operate. Does the build quality match that of my branded stands? Well, not exactly but they are a quarter of the price and are as stable; I just feel the turn bolts are a bit flimsy but nothing to worry about too much. They can easily handle my 800w heads with a 185cm softbox and I've even used them to hold up my backdrops as well, which aren't lightweight.

If you need a couple of inexpensive light stands, these are compact and lightweight; ideal for a flashgun-only kit. They’re significantly thinner/smaller than my regular stands (but that also means that they’re not quite as sturdy), and will take a load off my shoulders for smaller assignments. I definitely wouldn’t use these with a monolight and a large octa and I’m pretty sure that I’ll only be using the stands in an indoor setting, like a studio space. The plastics isn't exactly A-grade: the knob and locking mechanisms feel like you’ll need to be careful with the stand over time. Even so, the rivets, screws and coupling mechanisms are all metal, so I don’t foresee a problem as such. Bottom line: they’ll get the job done for flashgun kits and as emergency stands, but not much else.

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

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

good

ممتازة وتجي ب جراب خاص لكل قطعة

Me ha parecido dos soportes muy válidos, fiables y económicos. No creo que sean profesionales pero para el uso de la mayoría de los usuarios van sobrados. Son muy estables, aguantando focos de varios kilos sin problemas. Se monta y desmonta en segundos y viene con una práctica bolsa de transporte. Totalmente recomendable.

Après l’avoir utilisée pour poser une lampe rasante, perche très utile et de très bonnes factures. Point positif: Rapport qualité prix au top, très utile facile le travail, l’accroche pour la lampe rasante est efficace. Point négatif: Paraît fragile au premier abord, a voir dans le temps.

Wer ein günstiges Stativ für leichte Fotolampen sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Sicherlich gibt es hochwertigere Stative, aber die haben dann auch ihren Preis. Diese Stative (2er Pack) sind einfach aber ordentlich gebaut und stehen auch ganz ausgezogen sicher auf dem Boden. Angesichts des wirklich günstigen Preises, gibt es da wirklich nichts zu meckern. Würde ich wieder kaufen.
