Just received this stand this week. It is not the one pictured! The Bad- does not have a carrying bag or a counterweight! The stand I received comes with a weight bag and you will have to buy your own weight to put in it. The good it is all black, seems very heavy duty for the price and is easy to set-up. Adorama should update the image to reflect the current product!

Very useful, works well, and very versital. The only drawback is that it can be a bit difficult to change the boom arm angle.

Most of the stand is well built and sturdy. Unfortunately the legs are too lightweight for really serious work. This seems to be the weak point of most Flashpoint stands.

have used this for Alien Bee in a fairly large softbox and it worked great. Only downsides: need to supply your own counterweight, chrome color can reflect in images, and not an air cushioned stand.
If you need instruction to set this up, you've got bigger problems.

The boom assembles easily, and it's reasonably solid. But it's just too short for a standing subject and does not offer enough reach

I can not figure out how to assemble it. I have figured out many complex things but this one's got me. I can't use it. In my opinion, this Boom kit is worthless because if I can't use than what is it worth. A good manual would be helpful. It would definately need to have clear diagrams with well writen instructions.
