NEEWER C Stand with Boom Arm Pro 100% Stainless Steel, Max Height 10.8ft/330cm Air Cushion Heavy Duty Photography Light Stand with 4.2ft/128cm Holding Arm for Monolight Softbox Reflector

Overall first impressions are good! i've had a Neweer C-stand in the past (i don't remember which version) but i took a gamble on this stand due to its price. The weight seems to be fairly decent, not too light but not as heavy as my previous. Noticeably lighter than my previous C-stand by at least 7-10 lbs. Its build quality seems to be on par with other stands i've owned however the lightness of the metal used in this particular LITE model, leaves me undecided on how long it will hold up to abuse on rough location use in outdoor scenarios. The Size of the stand is excellent and a C-stand that comes with an extension arm and an extra mounting knuckle, you can't really beat it. As of now i'll give it the benefit of a doubt and 5 stars for a seemingly well made stand. I will update this review if i encounter any failures during use.

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.

This item is heavy duty. It holds my 120cm Neewer soft box. It is very heavy. I think the price was worth it. It is easy to assemble and adjust.

Much heavier than I expected!

This stand is heavy-duty! You won't find anything better for the price. I've used it to support a Godox AD400 unit with 38" umbrella outdoors and it worked perfectly. Unit is well built and very easy to operate. It breaks down easy when not in use. I plan on getting a couple more of these to use with other flashes. Adjustments are easy to give you the perfect positioning for light.

This thing is a beast. Its not really a "through it in the trunk and go" item. It will hold heavy strobes with big soft boxes. Excellent build quality. I got it during prime day sale and could not be happier. Great price and value.

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.

This is a heavy product. It feels like a better-quality product than the one I received before from another brand and had to send it back. I like how it is designed not to allow it to collapse quickly, that is a great safty feature.
