Flashpoint 13' Lightstand with 1/4-20 Threaded Mounting Screw

This is a well made heavy duty fold up light stand that I bought to hold my new Orlit 610 mono light strobe. I like the way it is made. I plan on ordering at least two more of these stands.

an air cushioned light stand from a reputable manufacture at such a reasonable price is a no brainer. Save the cash you'd spend for the boutique vendors and put it back into glass, or other peripherals. Flashpoint is tips in my book. Quality is thought one and serious enthusiasts and pros and clients who know will appreciate the brand when it is produced. I would--and have, purchased this brand again. Oh, and did I mention...air cushioned?

I recieved two of these Flashpoint 13' lightstand.... first of all if you are questioning if they are sturdy? YES do you think you should get one to hold your backdops at a higher height like 13' yes... this even has liitle tool that will hold the backdop up. which is a plus ..it even comes with a strap and a bag...very impressive Flashpoint....I was looking into getting another Ravelli but if I get a 3rd one it will be this....I am a professional in Austin TX

You will not find a better 13 ft stand under ($). Better for lighter weight lights if you are using the full 13'. Not as heavy duty as some other brands but half the price.

After unboxing I was pleasantly surprised at the build quality and weight however after further inspection I notices that two of the collar knobs were stripped out and wouldn't tighten. To add to insult, all of the top receiver pins were loose and rocked back and forth. Only one rivet holind the hardware to the extension pole. I returned all four as well as 10 other 9.5 and 7 ft stands. Overall poor build quality that I wouldn't want expensive gear on.

The stand is very well made. I'm using mine with a Westcott TD6 and the 36x48 shallow softbox. It is nice and sturdy.

This will be my second of these. We use them mainly for mounting small video cameras on during weddings. The 13' height gets above the crowd when needed.

I use these in studio and on location. I had smaller, light weight stands that were not all that great on location. Using bigger softboxes was always a challenge, so I decided to upgrade to taller/heavier stands, especially because I bought a 22" beauty dish and wanted to put it on a boom. For the price, I figured I couldn't go wrong so I ordered a pair. I have to say I was very impressed by the build quality. They are sturdy and they are fairly big, but that's what I was wanting. I have used them on photo shoots outdoors with the beauty dish attached and have not had any issues with flying lights. I have also used them with a boom and have not had any stability issues so far. They do not come with a bag so please be aware if you plan on carrying them around and plan accordingly. Sometimes they can be a little big. I'll probably plan on getting a pair of this brand but a smaller size. If you don't mind bulk then these can't be beat. I don't really see the need for spending hundreds of dollars on stands unless you are a full-time pro.

I bought this stand to hold a 60" umbrella with a couple speedlights and it's more than stong enough. For the price, I think this stand is a steal.

Pair this with a Go Pro Hero camera for filming court events ( basketball, volleyball, tennis, etc.) with ease. Camera is mounted high for great court visibility.

I need a taller/higher quality stand than what I previously owned but as a hobbyist can't justify spending hundreds on them. I do a good mix of location and studio shooting so I want some heavier duty stands that could stand up to abuse. Compactness for me isn't too much of an issue. I don't mind carrying the extra bulk. The price for two of these stands is very reasonable. I figured they would be worth a shot. Ordering was easy and they arrived in about a week. I pulled them out of the box and said wow these are definitely big. They have a very big footprint when you set them up, but that is one of the reasons I ordered them. They should hold up well with a large softbox or outdoors in windy conditions While I'm certain they're not as heavy duty as stands that cost $100's of dollars, they feel rugged enough for me. The build quality is very good. I'm looking forward to testing them out and will post more feedback after using them outside.

Wasn't expecting this good of quality for the dollar! Well built, solid. Very user friendly. Looking forward to my other stands biting the bullet, so I can order more of these. You won't be disappointed! Holds a monolight with large umbrella just fine.

This light stand is great. No beginner photographer should be without at least one. I listed tall as a con to get your attention. At it's smallest size, it is 3' 11", not the most compact. However, it is 12' feet tall when fully extended. The only reason 3' 11" is an issue, is because, I have yet to find a bag that it fits in. The air cusion will catch you off gaurd and shoot up, without a flash attached. This is one of my better finds on Adorama.

I am not a pro photographer but I am a pro Audio Engineer and I use this stand to hold microphones. This stand gets the mics way up high where you need them to record large groups. Very study with all metal section clamps, I have no reservation hanging very expensive mics on this stand. I don't know why this stand would not work as well for lighting equipment. The mounting stud actually is reversible with a 1/4-20 screw on one end and a 3/8-16 screw on the other. This stud can be mounted either vertically or horizontally.
