Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Westcott 750 Photo Basics 7.0-Foot Light Stand

Customer Review: Worked good while it lasted....
Summary: 3 Stars

This light stand works as advertised and as the most of the reviews here say it does. It is very wobbly at the higher end of the stand due to how light it is so you will need to put some weight on it SOMEHOW or get someone to hold it down if you have an umbrella or softbox or sometimes even nothing but a speedlight depending on how much the wind is blowing.

The reason why i said it worked good etc. but only gave it 3 stars is because this was my very first light stand so I thought it was awesome before i broke it accidentally. The stand would blow over alot and wasnt too stable on uneven ground due to the base size when extended is not wide at all. So i decided to try to put some weight on it but this broke the spring which only holds up to 5.5lbs which the wind can still blow over. Needless to say this is a good stand for indoor stuff or if you always want an assistant holding it, but if you dont have either of these luxuries (and i mean a assistant that works for you and not just a friend who will help you on some occasions) then this stand is not for you.

There is a impact 9.5ft light stand on B&H that sells for around $40 that will support up to 22lbs and is air cushioned rather than spring controlled that hasnt let me down and is very stable on all occasions but is bigger obviously and weights a lil more than this one. I would highly recommend that one for an all purpose stand.
