Used Flashpoint Pro Air-Cushioned Heavy-Duty Light Stand (Yellow, 7.2')

I got a couple of these for use with a couple of Ryobi lights. They worked great. I'm very pleased with the stand. Well made and easy to use. And it's a very reasonable price. Much better than using a camera tripod stand.

I own a couple of the 7ft stands so I ordered a 9ft stand. I knocked off a star because when I opened the 9ft stand two of the feet caps fell off. They seem too loose to stay in place. I used Plummers tape to wrap the caps and tap them into place. They seem solid now but I find this a bit disappointing for a "pro" stand. Otherwise, stands seem good.

light weight but also sturdy. im 5'2 and find these lightstands portable and the easiest to use with me. sometimes i will bring one out with me and it is slighlty heavy when walking long distances, but supports my lights great and i am never worried about them getting knocked over. would buy again. feel like these will last forever

Good product, lightweight and convenient, works perfectly, but the paint faded in less than a month.

The Flashpoint stand is good enough. I like that it extends to 7ft but I don't like how it feels like it's sticking while extending. The material is not that great, but it's sturdy enough to do the job. If u take it outside on a windy day I would use a sand bag to be safe.

This is an excellent piece of equipment. The price to quality ratio is high. It is lightweight but sturdy.

It's a decent light to medium duty stand. I used one of them for an outdoor portrait session yesterday with an Einstein and 47" Octa on it and the bottom two sections raised up (I would never extend all 3 sections with this setup/lightstand as the light/softbox combo is too heavy for it). There was a bit of bowing. Good stand if you use something lightweight like a speedlight or a Godox AD200, or even a light like an Einstein with just an umbrella. I had a 25lb sandbag on the front leg and a 15lb sandbag on one of the rear legs (braced with super clamps so they wouldn't slide down), along with a Vagabond Mini Lithium battery pack attached to the center column with a super clamp....so around 47lbs of weight on the bottom of the stand and it held it without issue. It's no replacement for a C-stand, but if you need something portable with a lightweight lighting setup (umbrellas only if you need to get the light high in the air, no softboxes), it's decent. In reading other reviews, I'm curious how long the knobs will last.

Good stand for the price. Do yourself a favor and replace the t-knobs and bolts because they'll eventually fail on you (amazon or local hardware store). I bought 2 of these awhile back and both failed within 3 months. One stripped while i was in the middle of session.

I was surprised by the quality! Air cushioning makes you confident that you can walk away without hearing a thud and a crash after you thought you tightened each fitting! These are truly professional. Light stands! Don't be fooled by the low price.

This is their newest iteration; the first set of stands from FP had the nuts/bolts strip out, the current design flaw is that the top collar is threaded onto the tube vs. press-fitted or riveted, so the tube is weakened and the top mount can easily snap off. I have had 2 of 6 of them do it just from being jostled in the bag with other stands. They were replaced, but it was inconvenient. Otherwise they are decent under light use.

The pros: sturdy and affordable. Con: I hate that the legs don't lock in place when open.

Snapped with flashpoint 600 with 42" glow beauty dish in studio. Luckily no one was hurt and no strobe damage. Only recommend it for light strobes or moonlights. If aluminum build was thicker would be a perfect lightstand.

I love the product, I ordered two , but one came broken. I wanted a replacement, I ended up getting refurbished.

I love it, it's the perfect height and weight and very sturdy. I also appreciate the ability to change the orientation of the top screw attachment.

worked well for about a year and a half. I shoot on weekends usually, light use. 24 inch modifiers usually or bare AD100, but the top section bolt/or nut strips out. They both did it around the same time, not allowing me to use the top section. I may be able to find a work around, but don't usually carry pliers with me to tighten a nut.

For portability and ease of use this stand is 5 star, however, if you do a lot of work outdoors purchase with caution. Granted I am sort of rough on gear as I photograph seniors outdoors in both standard portraits and sports portraits with wind and athlets flying everywhere, but have two stands recently sheer the inner scoping pole off - one when a football player bumped it and once when a strong gust of wind blew the light over and the stand was caught. Lucky in both cases we were able to catch the lights before they crashed. If you are in a studio or controlled environment I would not think there would be any issues.

This specific Flashpoint Pro Air-Cushioned Heavy-Duty Light Stand (Chrome, 13') was fairly solid and held a Xplor 600 SE with a 35 inch parabolic softbox (about 10 lbs. or so) without too much wobble. I'll have to wait to see how it performs on location when there might be some wind. The stand seems to be pretty well built. No issues with knobs, legs, air cushioning, or extension pole. The only thing that bothered me was error of the load capacity and stand weight of the light stand listed in the Specs part of the description on the website. The website listed the light stand's load capacity as "19.1 to 25 lbs." while the product box and product tag that was attached to the stand indicated that load capacity is 13.2 lbs. I ordered this unit for it's load capacity of what I believed to be at least 19 lbs. based on the specs on the website. Also, the website listed the weight of the stand at "3.1 to 5 lbs.". The weight listed on the product box is actually 7.3 lbs. Seems a little misleading for these specs to be that far off, hence the 1 star reduction.

I've only used it once, so far, but this seems like a fairly sturdy lightstand. I love the air-cushioned sections. One of the little plastic plugs at the end of a leg comes out far too easily, but that picking nits. For the price (I got it for about $40) it was a great value.
