Comments about Photogenic Photogenic 8' Air-Cushioned Heavy Duty Aluminum 4-Section Lightstand, Black Anodized Finish:
This stand is described as "heavy duty", but its construction quality is relatively poor compared to its price. Too much plastic is used, especially in the brakes that lock the sections in place (I own other heavy duty stands and the brakes are made from metal). The locking knobs are very low quality and the entire stand is held together with rivets instead of bolts/nuts like other quality stands.
