Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Westcott 750 Photo Basics 7.0-Foot Light Stand
Customer Review: A great start
Summary: 4 Stars
This seems to be just about exactly what I need for getting started with more quality portrait photography. It holds my 24 inch (Cowboay Studio) softbox and Canon 430EX Speedlite quite well. The legs spread wide enough to keep the assembly stable, even when it is up above my head. If taken care of, I expect this to work very well. I especially like the spring action which pops up the two sections when loosening them after storage. It folds down into about 3 feet long, 3 inches by 3 inches.Customer Review: Good for my uses
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this light stand Strictly for Holding a small solid backdrop for my Commercial Head Shots. I knew it was very lightweight, and had no intention of using it to hold my heavier light set ups.
If you're looking for something to hold Hot-Shoes flashes and an umbrella, this is the one for you.
If you need it to hold Studio Mono-lights, I'd suggest something a little sturdier.
Other than that, it does what I need it to...very light duty!!
Customer Review: Uh.. no
Summary: 2 Stars
I love these Amazon reviews, and hate to write a negative one.
Bought this model about a year ago, due to low cost and other reviews.. shortly thereafter, the "spring" feature fell apart internally. Then (and now), the top of this spins with the lightest touch (or even if it is mildly unbalanced) - so, the light doesn't stay aimed where it is pointed. Duck tape works to hold the top from spinning - but, really now... it should be much more robust.

Westcott 750 Photo Basics 7.5-Foot Light Stand
This is a very reasonably priced light stand that is working very well for me in my small studio. It's fairly compact and light weight which makes it easy to manuever. I've never used it outside but it would have to be weighted in any windy situation. I'm very statisfied with this economical light stand.
Customer Review: Decent Stand but arrived slightly damaged
Summary: 4 Stars
This stand is not the smallest, but the size is acceptable for portability. My unit came with the 1/4" bolt on the top (that had a plastic protector on the threads) messed up. I had to use a die to clean up the end threads before any of my flash or umbrella holders would screw into it. It was easier to fix it than return it, so now it's working just great! The stand is very solid and has a nice high extension capability. I like it.
