Neewer13feet/390cm Two Way Rotatable Aluminum Adjustable Tripod Boom Light Stand with Sandbag for Studio Photography Video

This is my first boom stand, so maybe they're all this way, but this stand is considerably bigger than your run of the mill light stand. Everything is thicker and stronger, and the base of the stand opens wider, than a basic cheap light stand, even though the basic overall design remains the same.Apart from the overall extra beefiness of this stand the main difference between this and regular light stand is obviously the boom arm and the tilting mechanism that makes it happen. The tilting mechanism is also the only area I could complain about on this otherwise well designed stand. It's a smooth piece of metal and you have to really crank down the handle on to get it to securely lock into place. I think it would be better, and still give you 98% of control over the angle if it had teeth the help catch and lock it at points, which would save you from having to really crank down on the handle. On a positive note the handle for this is metal, so it's not as likely to break as a plastic one would in dealing with the same stresses.Overall I'm very happy with this stand and it was an excellent price. It's great that boom arm stores inside the stand if you want, and you can use it as a regular super sturdy stand too, so it's very versatile. In fact, if I don't start upgrading to actual c-stands I'll probably buy more of these just to get the extra functionality of them. If anything happens after I've been using the stand for awhile I'll report back, but so far so good.

Okay, while it's not strong and "bullet-proof" like a C-Stand, this stand is big in a good way and has a nice long reach! If your finances don't allow for purchase of a hard-core stand, this one will work very, very well. Just don't abuse it; don't over-tighten things and use the counter-weight sandbag as applicable so you don't have to crank down hard on some of the knobs. That said, it's a really nice stand that can be tall, big, and long as needed. Having even one of these is so handy, and having two of them will give you so much help in your productions. Also, it collapses down well to a decent compact size!

I also own its slightly smaller little bro stand, and it's pretty great as well. I can boom my Godox vl200 & medium soft box with ease using the included sandbag as a counterweight.I also use this as a audio boom stand, it pairs nicely with my sennheiser mke600 and zoom h4n pro. That it's an "all in one" unit makes things just that much simpler on set or in studio.The stand works nicely with my godox ad200 and ad400 pro studio strobes, again using the included sandbag as a counterweight.The stand is very sturdy, a medium-heavy duty affair if that makes sense, for my godox vl300 I would use something a bit more heavy duty, this stand can pull it off but @ that weight and extended out sags ever so slightly.All in all a great buy for a working professional photographer and film maker, two thumbs up.

This is the first Neewer item I am a bit disappointed in. I just opened package, I thought it would be a little heavier duty, but should work for what I need. The stand should work great compacts nice and extends further then I thought. I was disappointed the sand bag has no sand or plastic sand bags to put sand in. It is just an empty canvas bag. The biggest issue I had was when I opened the plastic the sand bag was in I could smell mold, I opened the bag and there was mold. I am allergic to mold so I immediately took it up to the sink and washed out. And threw out the box and packaging and wipped down the stand. The D ring that came with the sand bag, is very cheaply made, popped the spring as soon as it was opened..Other than the sandbag issue I think the stand should work well.

We received a completely crushed unit...couldn't put it together due to damages. Also appeared to have been heavily used because there were lots of zip ties holding parts together.

Me sirvió en su momento

The appearance of the product is good, looks and feels to be very good quality and works good as long as you don’t accidentally pull on the pole without loosening the clip. Now it won’t hold at all, I’ve only had it a couple months and now it’s pretty much worthless to me cause I can’t raise anything higher then the base height and even at the bottom it won’t stay still. Very upsetting. I won’t be buying anymore of these

I love everything about this stand except how the boom arm locks into angle. It only tightens enough to hold its own weight. It will not Stay without a counter weight for anything. Still would buy again

Das Stativ ist solide und stabil und als Boom für ein MKE600 mehr als genug. Ich hatte auch das Manfrotto 420b bestellt, jedoch hat das bei der Feststellschraube keine Rillen wie das Neewer. Durch die Rillen bleibt das Neewer dort wo es sein soll und man muss den Hebel beim Knie nicht unangenehm fest zudrehen. Beim Manfrotto hat man das Gefühl es muss perfekt ausbalanciert sein, sonst sinkt es bei zu viel Last ab.

Trasigt när jag fick det. Paketet hade fått en liten "smäll" så att stativ-fästet hade brustit sönder.Tål det inte ens en liten "kyss" i frakten, så kommer det inte att hålla normal användning heller.Återlämnat och fick pengarna tillbaka.

It holds up a monolights with a huge 120cm octabox like a charm! With a counterweight I am comfortable leaving my monolight with the modifier on the stand in studio for weeks. I've never had an issue with tipping (provided the legs are secured with another sandbag) or even screw loosening. To improve sturdiness I would recommend that the manufacturer provides another sandbag for the legs so that the consumer doesn't need to use their own.The build is awesome, the boom collapses into the stand so it's super portable. However, be careful securing it back in, I've hurt my hands doing this as it can jam up and need to be forced inside when there's weight on the boom.All in all though it's excellent value, you can't find a thick sturdy stand like this anywhere else for this prucd that includes a boom.

Los materiales de fabricación son muy buenos, el tamaño es el adecuado para fotografía de producto (390cm), si compras el más pequeño té quedará corto en ocaciones. Es un poco pesado pero él tamaño y los materiales de buena calidad son la causa y lo compensan. El paquete llegó muy rápido y en buen estado. El precio me parecí muy bueno lo compré en una oferta relámpago. Muy recomendable 📸

Ho avuto la fortuna di trovarlo scontato e la mia preoccupazione principale era che fosse abbastanza robusto per tenere il peso di un flash da studio di 400 e più i vari accessori.Il prodotto è davvero robusto anche se allungando il braccio fino a fine corsa si vede che flette sotto il peso del flash, niente di pericoloso se si allargano bene le gambe del cavalletto e se si carica un peso sul gancio del braccio dove trovate il sacchetto per la sabbia (vuoto)Ho mosso più volte il cavalletto e scorre piacevolmente, aperto e chiuso molte volte anche le viti che sembrano molto solide.Robusto e economico lo consiglio
