Victoria V. ★★★★★

Finally a stand that easily handles my 80cm octabox without any wobble. The locking knobs feel solid and hold the sections tight even when fully extended. Really happy with the added height for overhead shots.

Evelyn L. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this stand for my softbox setups, and the extra height really makes a difference for overhead lighting. The legs feel sturdy even when fully extended, which gives me confidence it won’t tip over. It’s a solid workhorse for the price.

Olivia ★★★★★

Set it up in my studio yesterday and the extra height over my old stand is perfect for getting my softbox above the subject. The metal joints feel solid and lock securely without any wobble.
