Q: 10. The load capacity specs state 11lbs. Has everyone found that to be true or have lights of lesser weight still been an issue? What is considered pushing the limit ?

A: Good question. I spent too much time worrying about this. I shopped around locally ALOT to determine what is the most sturdy. I bought these stands and LOVE them. Now, I don't have them loaded to limit (using LED constant lighting and flash guns) but I love these stands because they are built well, they are light and the cushioning works really well. I didn't like a lot of the other stand I saw, because they were either too big, to heavy or to cheap. These stand also lock together into an easily transportable system. Pretty cool.
