Heavy and rock solid, perfect for my studio. If you travel to locations, beware it is heavy but that's what makes it so sturdy. I like that it comes with the original grip arm for the stand as well as the boom arm. If I just want to hold a flag or background, I can quickly swap out the boom for the grip.

Good quality c stand! It feels sturdier than some of the cheaper ones I own and came with a bonus baby pin.

I bought this on sale for roughly $100. I expected to get a medium-weight C stand that would be just enough to handle a small strobe and four-foot softbox on the boom. What I got was one of the sturdiest C stands I've ever seen. I think it will last me the rest of my life, and it's more than a match for any demands I will put on it. Thank you, Adorama!

I just got it today, it took me five minutes to put together and use it. It is heavier than I expected, it's solid. I find it easy to use. It didn't have any instructions but I've used them before. I extended the gobo arm out with a beauty dish, which is about 7lbs, with a light and battery, another 5 pounds. It held it up with ease. I'm reayy happy with this purchase. Now I can finally not worry about not having a good C stand.

This is my second time ordering this stand. I love the spring loaded aspect to it. Holds a lot of weight. Will get this again if I am in need of another stand.

Are they perfect? No. Will Cstand snobs look down upon you? Yes. Do they hold your light just as well as any other option and last just as long? Yes. They are great option for the price. If they changed the bottom swing out design it would be an easy 5star. But I'm sure they would cost more then. Its a plus that you can remove the legs post easier pack down if you ever need to fly / travel with them. A feature usually reserved for the ritzy snobby cstands.

I bought this for a friend setting up a studio on a budget. Seem like a reasonable experiment. When they arrived and we pulled them out, I was really pleased about the build quality and attention to detail. They feel a little heavier but if they live in the studio, it's not a problem.

Even with the lower price, these feel solid. They have good weight and I feel confident with these on set for scrims and lights.

All else being OK I have one issue. The grip arm accepts only the gobo heads supplied. I have other gobo heads that are too small to accept. I would reconsider next time buying this brand turtle base kit.

This stand lasted me maybe 3 photoshoots before the first piece broke. After that I couldn't do much of anything with it as it would just turn in any breeze.

Sturdy and Stable
By James B.
I love my Flashpoint C-Stand! I had purchased an Xplor 600 Monolight and I was leary about mounting it on my lightstand. When I put my Xplor 600 on my C-stand I could tell that it was sturdy because my light didn't move at all. My C-stand opens up more possiblities and postitions due to the grip arm. I highly recommend it.
Great value!

Great value purchase! Very sturdy stand. Very confident it can easily hold a Flashpoint Xplor 600!
