NEEWER Air Cushioned Aluminum Light Stand, 9.8ft/3m Adjustable Photography Stand with Boom Arm, Counterweight, Sandbag, 1/4" Screw for Softbox, Studio Flash, Umbrella, Ring Light, Max Load 5kg

This air-cushioned light stand has proven to be an excellent choice for my filmmaking projects, offering great functionality at an affordable price. The air-cushioning mechanism is a key feature, ensuring a smooth and controlled descent when adjusting the height or lowering the light, which prevents any sudden drops that could damage your gear. This added safety is invaluable, especially when using delicate or expensive equipment. The height adjustment is easy to operate, and the stand can be set at a variety of positions, making it versatile for different shooting setups. The locking mechanisms are secure, and the stand holds heavier lights and modifiers without wobbling, providing stability throughout the shoot. The included sandbag, though empty, is a practical feature that can be filled with sand or other weight materials to further stabilize the stand, particularly when it’s extended to its maximum height. In terms of build quality, the stand is lightweight for portability but strong enough to support heavier gear. It’s easy to transport, set up, and adjust, making it a great option for both on-location and studio shoots. For the price, this stand offers fantastic value. With the added air-cushioning, solid build, and stability features like the sandbag, it provides a professional level of functionality at a very reasonable cost. If you’re looking for a reliable and versatile light stand without breaking the bank, this is a great choice that delivers on both quality and performance.

This NEEWER Air Cushioned Aluminum Light Stand (9.8ft/3m) has given me something every creator needs — peace of mind. I no longer worry about my gear tipping over during shoots, and that alone makes it worth every penny. The build quality is solid and dependable. Whether I’m using it as a standard stand or extending the boom arm, it feels stable and secure. The air cushioning adds an extra layer of safety, especially when adjusting height with mounted equipment. I love that I can switch between just the stand or the boom arm depending on the setup. The included counterweight and sandbag are also a great touch — they make the whole structure feel even more balanced. It handles my softboxes, lights, and modifiers with no issues at all. For anyone serious about creating content or working on set, this is the kind of stand that helps you focus on the work — not on whether your light’s about to fall over.

Good stands. Wasn't expecting much to be frank. Other inexpensive stands I've bought have been just about enough to do the job and no more, which to be fair is what I wanted. But these are robust, strong, easy to use, and can be raised more than high enough for their intended purpose. Very pleased with them. They not as light as I'd prefer but they are three times the size so that's expected. They come with a bag that's a little bit of a tight fit but the stand goes in and it's easy to carry with a strap and a handle. Excellent product for the price and actually good quality. Very happy with them.

The images seem to make it look silver in the listing but it is white. The plastic brackets are an off white beige colour which is a bit disappointing but it's solid overall. I'm using it as a projector stand in a spare room for movie nights with friends.

Great for travel, they fold up small but are very robust, a 200x light and 60cm softbox works fine but I wouldnt go beyond that in terms of load.

Had to return this only because it wasn't fit for my purpose, but found it really good quality, was easy to use, compact and lightweight.

I bought two of these stands. They fold out and back down very easily and I can choose not to fully extend the legs if there is less room (although more at risk of tipping so be careful!) which is very handy in a cramped space. I can easily attach and remove my Godex lights to them and they seem to be pretty good quality. Very pleased with them.

Neewer products are generally well made, good quality, a reasonable price and this stand is no exception. Sturdy, stable, easily easily able to take a studio light with a softbox. It is air cushioned, easily adjustable, folds down to a reasonable size and is not to heavy.
