Great basic light stand October 24, 2008
This is a great lightstand for the price. I use it with SB-800 and an umbrella. I've tried putting some heavy strobes on it and with the stand full extended it starts to tilt and looks like its going to snap in half. But hey, that's not what its meant for.
An excellent stand for strobists. October 15, 2008
I purchased 2 of these based on the good reviews and I must say, I was not disappointed. These stands seem very durable and unknown to me beforehand, they ARE air cushioned. I do agree that these are designed for lightweight flashes and not heavy objects. It holds my SB-600 with 40" umbrella no problem. It's great for a travel kit. Definitely Recommend.
 Sturdy, but.... October 12, 2008

I bought this as a second light stand to hoist my second 430ex flash unit. I already own a bogen 3373 retractable 5-piece light stand, which is pretty light, and fits very well into my backpack. Now this Westcott stand iself is pretty light and the construction seems pretty durable.
However, I was concerned to note that it does not collapse down to the size of the Bogen light stand,which seems a pain in the neck, considering how portable I wanted to be. I may have to end up buying another bag if I need to lug it outdoors.
I know they don't make claims on the product description, but somehow I was not able to get this information either from the reviews, or from the product specifications, online. Nonetheless, the product holds my savage umbrella pretty well, and is definitely a great deal at half the price of the Bogen light stand.
cheap and good August 28, 2008
I own several light stands as I use them to hold up my touring puppet stages. This one seems as good as several of the $80-100 stands I've purchased. I'm curious to see how it holds up to touring. It has a strange spring mech. that causes the ends to pop out a few inches. I'm not sure what the purpose of this is and it doesn't realy bother me, I just haven't seen it before.
Great affordable light stand July 15, 2008
Great price on a stand that does just what it should. If you're not using anything too heavy, this is just the ticket. Stable enough for a strobe and umbrella, large soft boxes not so much...
