Soonpho Extendable Photography Light Stand 8.5ft Aluminium Alloy Tripod Light Photography with 180° Reversible Leg Travel Compact Tripod Maximum Height 102"/260cm for Continute Output Lighting

Lightweight, compact, and telescopes high. The screw at the top allows for two different size screw holes. Used to video a volleyball court, and I will use it in the spring for lacrosse. The diameter of the base is relatively narrow. Overall product is sturdy and I would buy this again.

I purchased these as i tend to visit conventions often whether it’s a Comicon or anime con, I take photos of cosplayers at these events. It’s tough taking other standard stands that are slightly bigger and not as compact. They’re also quite light weight. They’re decently sturdy at lower heights but when you pull them all the way up, I definitely feel the wobble.I popped on my AD200 Pro to see how well it holds up and I can get a good 7ft before the wobble feels too uncomfortable. I haven’t tried with my 24” or 36” soft boxes yet but it’s not a bad stand overall.I also really like how short they are and they’re AWESOME for clamshell reflectors because of how low they can get.I chose these because although not the cheapest option, all of the legs do come down at the same time compared to cheaper options. The twist locks on the rubber do feel like they can get loose a bit if you play with them too much. Idk if there are any better options on how to get the rubber to stick better.I’ll try to see if I can remember to come back in 3-6 months to post some more on them.

This is a very light rigid tripod suitable for smaller to mid-sized LED lights. I've been taking two on location to my night shoots to provide strategic fill light in my scene. They have operated smoothly and fold down very compact. Recommended.

Good quality where is sturdy and filled with really good materials.

Just what I wanted, a small size but still meets the needs for hotel room shoots. I don't know about outdoors with wind but I mostly wanted a stand that fit comfortably in my luggage. I am happy with the build quality.

It’s very lightweight and seems to be good quality. Haven’t used it too often but when i do, it’s easy to use.

Easy setup. Sturdy carrying bag included. Quick, secure adjustment.

I have a very sturdy and heavy tripod that I use in my home studio (Manfrotto), which is super sturdy and reliable, but also way too heavy when going on hikes. So, I was looking for something I could clip onto my backpack and use for stable photos for low light and such. This particular tripod fit the bill - its very lightweight, folds up into a very compact package, and is useful for making shots when you can't hand hold.However, do not put your extra heavy DSLR on this tripod (or heavy AlienBees strobe) and then walk back to do a self portrait or something - There is not enough weight to prevent against wind gusts, and there's no hook or other way to easily hang your backpack or a sandbag or anything at the base for stability like some heavier tripods. This tripod is meant for light gear like a cell phone or Gopro if you're going to leave it unattended. If you're putting a DSLR on the tripod, you'd better be within reach in case of wind or somebody brushing against it.All in all though, for my purposes this is a pretty good travel tripod when you're trying to keep the weight down and are going to stay in reach when you put your heavy camera on it (I clip a safety clip from my backpack shoulder strap to the camera so if it did tip over, it wouldn't hit the ground).
