Customer Review: Decent stand, but cheaply made
Summary: 2 Stars
Just ordered two of these stands last week, and they came in yesterday. When I opened the boxes, both of them were broken in the same spot. The part where the leg spreaders attach to the bottom of the center support is made of plastic, and both were broken. One was completely broken, thus giving no support to the legs at all, and the other was cracked, and on the verge of completely breaking. Apparently the plastic used is very brittle. The only thing I can imagine as a cause would be somebody dropping the boxes on their end, causing the center column to slide down and push against the plastic mount, causing it to crack. Well, needless to say I was quite disappointed. But, instead of going through the hassle and added shipping expense that comes with returning a defective product, I just decided to use some epoxy to glue the plastic mount pieces back together on the completely broken one, and reinforce the cracked plastic on the other one. So far, it looks like it will hold, but I can assure you these will be the last ones I ever buy. I guess the old saying, "you get what you pay for" really holds true in this case. My gut was telling me $39 for a 10' air cushioned light stand was too good to be true. I should have listened to my gut. Save yourself the money, and look elsewhere for a light stand. Judging by the quality of the Photoflex umbrella adaptors I bought, I will probably buy their stands as well.
