[5/8" Receiver] Im a weekend photographer and only a fraction of that is studio type work.  These are tall enough and strong enough to work with my equipment.  No complaints so far.

[Aluminum] This is our new go-to stand for our travel gear kit. I would definitely recommend this product.

[5/8" Receiver] Rock solid with my monolight and softbox. The span between legs when set up is 38. Uses lever locks like a tripod rather than screw locks. These work well and are quicker. The stand come with a wrench to tighten these if necessary. Overall, a much nicer and sturdier stand than some more expensive Avenger stands that I own.

[3' / 0.9 m] Light weight and well constructed. Will be buying more in the future.

[Yes] This is one of those things where you think the stand I have is good enough. That light stand I bought at a yard sale works just fine! Maybe it does, but we're putting expensive things on these stands, might wanna consider a good one. I was considering getting the lightest and most portable for my on location shoots. But then you need to haul around heavy sandbags and most of the compact ones seem to have a wobble to them. This one from small rig not only goes to nearly ten feet and is air cushioned, but it opens up with a nice wide base. Very stable! And the lever lock is a nice touch so you're not cranking on twist locks and risking them breaking. It doesn't pack up as small as others, I think it's around 3 feet folded. But it definitely gives me confidence and assurance that it's not going to fall over

[9.8' / 3 m] I like this SmallRig light stand a lot. It is much sturdier than I expected, which makes it heavier than expected, but that is actually a good thing because I think it might be more robust than other cheaper equipment I have used in the past. The levers to lock the legs at a particular height might appear to be too loose (or tight) when you get it, but you get a wrench with the stand which you can use to easily adjust the tension required to close the lever. This works very well and the metal levers seem very sturdy and good for long-term use. The dampening on the segments seems to be good and helpful. The support legs have a very wide stance and seem as though they will be good at preventing the stand from tipping over, unlike what I have seen on travel-oriented stands.

[Yes] Holds my Aputure Lightstorm LS1 just fine.

[9.8' / 3 m] I use this with an umbrella and speedlight and it works perfectly. It is sturdy and trustworthy. Very easy to adjust and quick and easy to store. Perfect for home studio or outdoor photography. You will need to get an umbrella bracket with adjustable shoe to use flash and umbrella.

[4] I didn't expect these tripods to be that strong and tall. Love using them!

[5/8" Receiver] I bought this with the Air-Cushioned Light Stand (Black,10') by Impact; I have occasional use for these in photography, but I mainly use them as a general-purpose lamp, and for this they're great! The stand is very sturdy, and the light is bright and great, and dimmable, and consumes little power (20W). Tilt it down for reading, or up to light the room. The only problem is that the stand takes up a lot of floor space; not idea for squeezing between a sofa and a wall. Much cheaper than a high-quality floor lamp, much more functional, and has a certain industrial charm.
