Amazon Basics Portable Aluminum Photography Light Stand Tripod with Case, Adjustable 2.8-6.7 Feet, Pack of 2, Black

Pros: cheap, stable, sturdy, light weight Cons: plastic clamps that will wear out Bottom Line: These are cheap full size stands and they are an awesome value for what you get, but if you have nice expensive equipment then pay more then this for a stand to put it on. I have bought a couple of sets of these so for and will probably buy more. These are great stands for lights, cell phones, tablets, small cameras, microphones, etc. They are very study and stable, the clams hold well and they can handle a decent amount of weight for a cheap stand. Just keep in mind that these are cheap stands with plastic clamps that will wear out quickly with constant use. These are best used in situations where you are not going to be folding them up very often. I have mostly been using them for lights and old cellphones, tablets, and cameras in a makeshift home studio. I also made one into a work light by mounting a couple of yard lights to it. So for general hobbyist use I highly recommend these, but if you have nice expensive equipment that you care about then buy something better.

Very versatile from cameras to lights and more. The stand feels quality with the price point in mind. Tall enough for most projects, doubt you will need more. Easy to use, unzip, extend, begin. No complaints at all, ordered 4 total, no issues with any of them. Holding up great so far, easy to store, pack up nicely, not taking up extra room being packaged up in the carry bag. Love these, worth the buy if you have a studio or anything similar

Okay, so these get the job done, but with a little help. Five stars for being lightweight, but these are just a bit too lightweight if you ask me. Looking at the photo, I had to use some 3lb. ankle weights to make sure that they stay up and not fall over due to the weight of the fabric backdrop that I’m using. Even then, the weights don’t feel heavy enough either to keep them up. The stability... falls short and is a little disappointing. They were continuously falling over until I could find that sweet spot where it finally worked and used the ankle weights. The look and feel of these tripods are pretty sturdy, but the stability is compromised by the lightweight component. Still, they aren’t bad tripods. The price is fair enough for what you are getting. I was easily able to put the clamps I purchased on them, and they’re doing what needs to be done. If you have the money for it, definitely try to find and buy a heavy duty, sturdy and reliable tripod. If there’s no need for that right now, you can buy this two-pack until you’re ready to upgrade.

I'm a professional photographer and videographer and though these stands aren't "professional grade" I have many uses for them when I need to position auxiliary equipment in corners or out of the way. I've mounted strobes on top (1/4-20 threaded post is standard), clipped audio mics on the post, clipped gopro cameras and basically any small piece of gear that you need to give some support to. There is a nice white line on the lower segment which indicates exactly where the legs should be positioned for maximum stability. QUIET - set up makes no noise, the legs slide into position and secure with no metal-to-metal noise. The segments slide up and down through plastic grommets/sleeves which also make no distracting noise. The locks don't make any loud "click" when opened or closed. HOLDS POSITION - Once the vertical shafts are locked into place, there is no drifting or slipping. BLACK IS GREAT - Black is the best color for light stands like these as they don't reflect light, draw attention, or show up in reflective surfaces. FIRM TOP THREADED POST - Some of the other economy stands I have, develop a little "play" in the top aluminum post which also has the 1/4 - 20 thread on top. This is firmly in place with no wiggle to it at all. I have to say that for this price, this is absolutely the BEST light stand I could find anywhere. TALL - Put a GoPro or small video camera on this and you can get the action without worrying that someone stands up right in front of it, unless they are seven feet tall! Do I recommend it? Absolutely, without hesitation! The included zippered bags are nice, but I just toss those. Need support for your small umbrella, softbox or auxiliary gear? Look no further, I'm very satisfied. Get a microphone above the crowd, or post that LED Light. More uses than I have time to describe. In the photos, I'm using SmallRig clamps... great accessories for these stands.

Good aluminum tripod for photography. Lightweight, stable, and easy to adjust. Ideal for basic use and travel.

Exactly what I needed to mount some lights for late night work in the garage or driveway. Inexpensive but seem to be built well.

These things are really light weight and have nice easy operating extension lock levers. They are also really flimsy and unstable. i was going to put a speedlight on these but quickly changed my mind. With sand bags they should be fine with holding up a flag or scrim but that's about it. They look nice and feel like good quality for what you pay for but they are just not stable enough to trust, especially with the small base of the legs. The bags they come with are super nice and I wish the tripods were built equally sturdy. If they made a heavy duty version of these I would own 6 or 8 of them as the design has potential.

Works great for my POTA Performer HF antenna. Easy to set up and it's stable.

ライトボックス用に購入しました。長さ、軽さ、安定性は高額の商品と比べても申し分ありません。 操作はやや硬めですが使っているうちに緩んでくることを考えれば安心感があります。 キャリングケースも問題なし。早速出張撮影に使用しました。

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.

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
