AL250 Steel Wheeled Pistol Grip Heavy Duty Light Stand for Photography w/Sliding Arm & Chrome-Plated Column Stand, MaxSuitable for Light Stand Photography

PROS:* The two arms are really nice, smooth operating, and super rugged.* The base is a little loose in the tolerances at the hinged section but seems sturdy and rolls OK on heavy duty wheels* inspires confidence that it would be able to hold up quite a bit of weight, but I'm using it mainly for a camera standCONS:* The 4 poles together on base is 8'4" tall so it won't fit in a standard residential American height room* Additionally since the arm is approx 7" tall the max height of pole should be <89 for the arm to slide on from the top.* However with just using 3 poles the finished height is 75" tall and that seems like a reasonable height to be able to slide the arm + light modifier over the top of the pole and have it fit in an 8 foot tall room.* That leaves you with one spare pole and you very well may need that in the long run if you plan to build and break down the entire pole often. The threads are such that the pole wall thickness on the female thread is on the thin side (IMHO) and may be susceptible to be easily damaged. Must be especially careful not to cross thread. The unit I received had one of the 4 poles with a very slightly dented female thread end but it kept the pole from being able to be threaded to another section. Could I have attempted to fix it? Yeah, maybe, but it probably wouldn't be perfect so I'd have to jiggle with that wonky thread forever. There is no option to just get a replacement post section so Amazon sent me a whole new complete replacement. On receipt of 2nd unit I just grabbed one section of pole from that new box only to find that it wouldn't thread on to my pole because the replacement section had it's female threaded end was ever so slightly out of round. The next section out of the box was OK so now I have 4 good clean sections in hand.* In summary, IMHO, these poles are fine if you plan to screw them together and keep them assembled but if you plan to break them down repeatedly or worse to pack them into travel bag and use them often on the road I think you're going to invariably damage the threaded ends and then a worthless item. I have my spare 4th section taped and padded at both ends and will put it in a safe spot to be called on if I somehow damage the 3 section assembly that I'm using.

Supera mis expectativas, material super restante y bien acabado a muy buen precio 100% recomendable

Non ho potuto provarlo in quanto è arrivato con mancanti di un tubo che magari per colpa di un corriere o della spedizione . Pero ho visto tutto nella scatola la sua robustezza.
