Fabulous.. This is of great help! C-stands are great to work with, but very cumbersome to carry outdoors. I wish they were less expensive!

Thank you!

Since the C-stand is made of alloy steel, it will continue to work smoothly even after 10-15 years. I saw my first C-stand in my friend's studio and bought it used. It had been used for 8-10 years when I bought it. I have been using the C-stand for 7-8 years without any problems. Unfortunately, because C-stands are made of steel, they are heavier than aluminum stands. I definitely recommend buying casters for C-stands.
I would also like to see the review of models like the "Xlite Floor Roller Stand" in your video, which are not very common, but will work for many years without problems like C-stands. I use the "JINBEI DDJ-70" stand, which is almost the same as the Godox QT1200IIIM model and the "Xlite Floor Roller Stand" model, without the center column . If I had seen the "Xlite Floor Roller Stand Base with Wheels and Brakes", I would definitely choose it. When I'm moving roller stands quickly, I want to make sure the stand won't tip over. The reason I do prefer a slightly higher quality, heavier light stands is that they are more stable.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve been looking for a heavy duty stand with super boom arm that can reach 2.5m+ horizontally. Still yet to find anything in Australia with an affordable price point.

Love these videos. This one was good, but one problem: it’s too short. This should be like, part 1/5 lol

[@zhangheran8183]

Your light stands looks great and are pretty affordable, but the shipping itself is $127 sadly.

[@hypop]

Depending on what stand and the shipping location. We're based in Australia so international shipping may be expensive for such a bulky item.

one thing, you forgot the broncolor Para's, esp. the 133/177, they go on the big stand, at the end of this video, as they are focused reflectors, so need the most support (also they mount the flash head inside the reflector, so are not on the pole axis)-off center loads.

Hi Hypop! It would be really helpful (..and good for sales) if you added direct links to each product on your website.

[@hypop]

Thanks for the suggestion! We're testing UA-cam's new in-built product linking but we've added it in the description as well now.

No solution for light stand have a flat base ?
I work I a small studio and need a light stand as skinny as possible to illumine my background. I also don't want grand nobs on the telescopic par of the stand..

[@hypop]

Does the stand at 1:19 suit you? We use the same stand to mount a background light in our studio lighting setups.
