I was looking for something smallish and lighter, to use as a camera support while backpacking. I have one that’s similar, but in aluminum, and wanted carbon fiber since it’s not as cold to the touch. This stand is really too big for backpacking, but the build quality is really good, so I kept it anyway! I’ll find a use for it! The action of unfolding is very smooth and easy, the collars all lock easily and firmly, it’s quite compact when folded and lightweight for normal use, just a bit much for backpacking. It is very stable and can be extended to about seven feet, which makes it very versatile. Please make one about 2/3 this size and weight, I need it! lol.

As a full time photographer that's been hired over 5k, I'm picking about my gear. I bought both the small and large versions of these carbon fiber light stands, and I love them! I wanted a quality stand that was lightweight, easy to adjust, and stable... and these carbon fiber stands from Neewer definitely do the trick! I'm going to add four more to my inventory!

I weighed this critter and it came in at 32 ounces. That's almost a pound less than the compact aluminum light stand I was using as a travel stand and this one is a couple of feet taller The length when folded is 20 inches. If it were an inch shorter it would fit in my LowePro airline carry on case. Putting it in diagonally doesn't count! LOL The extended height is close to 7 feet, which is as high as I'd want to extend a stand this light. I think it will be perfect for my AD200 strobes if don't try to use a huge soft box. It seems really well made and designed. I'm going to treat it gently - if you like to abuse your light stands this one is not for you. Update: I now have four of these stands and have had no problems at all. These are the only stands I use with my AD200s, even in my home studio.

After using this for about half a year on multiple shoots and many different scenarios I am quite happy with the stand. It's light, portable, and collapses down to travel easily. My only complaint I have is with heavier strobe / constant lights, like an Amaran 300c with a soft box. In this scenario the stand flexes, even when it isn't fully extended. This is easily stabilized with sand bags or weights and have never felt that it will actually fall over.. but it does feel a bit sketchy and I will likely switch to a counterweighted c-stand for my studio setups in the future.

I like Neewerr products but this one is too limited to be worth it imo. PROS: weighs nothing packs away small quick, intuitive setup spreader tripod legs gives u great adjustments for tight spaces vs more stability multi function, 3/8ths-16" reducer bushing and 1/4-20" included CONS way too wobbly to be trusted, even indoors with floorspace, and you can't really sandbag it bcoz of the 7.7lbs weight limit--so whats the point of it? if you have enough floor space to have it stable, you can put really lightweight equipment on it (3lbs seems ok), but u have to baby it and not bump into it which is more stress and problem than its worth i tested it with my 5.5lbs godox la300r which is a lighter weight 330w cob. to the neewer carbon fiber light stands's credit, it held it with the standard reflector and i was able to angle the yoke. ...but, if you want more stability you need to spread the legs wide, which indoors negates its use value, and outdoors i'd trust it even less bcoz wind etc. ...the neewer carbon fiber lightstand visibly flexes under 5.5lbs load and def makes me super nervous. can u use it? possibly. is it wise/safe to do so? probably not. i also see reviews here stating the baby pin at the top is merely glued in and comes off, effectively making the stand useless after a few uses. i tested the lightstand with my aputure mc pro w the bubble diffuser. this works, and its still significantly wobbly indoors, but maybe an acceptable compromise for quick setup and adjustment...but youd need an ultra long usbc cable to power the mc pro to 3 hrs+, and u cant rly put the power bank on the lightstand which adds more complication/floor danger/tripping/more stuff to steal away your attention ...plus the mc pro output is super weak, so like 400 lux + bubble fuser making it effectively 200 lux...and then exponential light loss re "inverse square law", it jus makes using the lightstand even in this way effectively useless now if youre working indoors w lots of floor space and you have those new 100w-300w ultra portable square shaped cob rgb's from zhiyun or godox ml100r etc, thatll get u somewhere probably, but youll still need to spend a fair amount on those lights, and they have fans thatll make noise, and youll need a $600 ish external battery on the floor to power it...more expense and complication than its worth for use w a $80 lightstand (u could plug in those 100w-300-500w mini rgbd to the ac power in the wall with extensions, of course. but again, the lightstand is so light, tripping hazard plus flexing jus makes me queasy about using it in any circumstance) if u put an "impact adjustable pole with fixed and socket" for approx 20"-34" extension, it will attach but it leans way too much even w the lightstand legs spread to the max. would never ever trust it outdoors imo. and since u cant rly sandbag the lighstand bcoz its too lightweight / limited 7lbs-ish load capacity, (maybe u could sandbag over each leg, all 3 legs, but thats more expense and complication, and the legs might break, and the center will flex) --u cant really use it with the impact adustable 20"-34" pole, its wayyy too tippy even at max spread i tested the lightstand with my impact pole fully extended, maybe u could use it to hold up diffusion cloth but even then everythings so lightweight itll be a "sail" and not worth the hassle. i tested it with the lighstand legs fully extended and with the impact pole holding up my mke600 mic to boom it more. again even w max extension of the legs, its far too tippy to ever trust even indoors. jus too much load and cant rly counterbalance it becoz light load capacity, other than sandbagging the legs (which feels like it might snap the flexy/flimsy legs or the weak plastic joints where they connect). and also it jus flexes too much to be trusted. i can only see this lightstand being useful if u have a ton of floor space, will use 3 shotbags over each leg at max spread, and using those 100-300-500w mini rgb lights w internal fans and a long power extension cable going into a $600+ 200w battery or trip hazard to a wall. it all jus doesnt seem worth the compromises the lightstand forces you to make for reliable use. to me, thats a lot of complication and expense for something that jus fundamentally isnt reliable. if you have a large studio space and want to use it for quickly moving around small lightweight photo flashes, i think it could be useful, but ud still have to be careful and its not worth the psychological burden of babying the gear instead of focusing on creating but for filmmaking, in small spaces, outdoors, in less controlled environments, it just isnt versatile enough to be useful; the limited load capacity, the flexing, the lack of stability, and the difficulty sandbagging it far outweigh how useful a lighstand it couldve been. for these reasons i cant recommend these units for filmmaking. you are better off buying a cstand with a sliding leg or coming up w more goofy mounting options like clamps, magnets, etc. simply becoz the neewer carbon fiber lightstand isnt reliable, it flexes, not easy to sandbag, cant handle much load, legs and joints seem like theyd snap easily, and others have reported the baby pin is merely glued on and detaches. also the baby pin receptacle is shallower than the ones on a cstand. i could still mount my la300r on it but it wasnt ideal. overall, its a failed product: it jus cant serve its function as a reliable lightstand even for ultra-light equipment i was hoping (never hope btw😂) that i could use this to support my ultra light equipment, small small rgb lights and a mic, but its jus not reliable enuf to be worth rly taking on a shoot and considering using it for real. this could maybe be fixed by using stronger materials that won't flex (but will be heavier) and having a sort of hook on the bottom to hang a shotbag from the center, etc. but yeh, overall, its not recommended imo. i like neewer but this product was a miss imo.

This lightweight tripod turned out to be the perfect solution for my lightweight, compact lighting kit that I use for smaller space photography in areas like bedrooms and hotel rooms. They are small when broken down and get taller that my needs require, so I have not found any limitations yet. They are super light and relatively sturdy for their size and weight. I use two of these tripods to run 2x Godox V1 speedlight (off camera), each with its own octagonal softbound and they are perfect!

This is the perfect light stand to travel on a plane with! Folds up small but is still a normal size stand. Seems to be pretty durable and has stable footing.

After a month or two of use the stand not longer locks full and sags under load ( I mount a Godox AD200 to it so nothing huge). I really love this stand but just wish it was built better.

Es ligero pero resistente

Me encantó lo ligero y al mismo tiempo resistente, muy buen material y un precio razonable

This reversible light stand, is small enough to be placed in carry-on luggage. I am a professional photographer and travel is part of my job description. With the advent of smaller professional, powerful. , battery powered strobe heads, i.e. the Rotolight Neo Pro., the NEEWER Carbon Fiber Light Stand is perfect for assignments that take me away from my studio. The reversible legs mean I can get the light source closer to the ground for separation lighting or fully extended it's great supporting the Key light and reducing shadows on the background. The fact that it's carbon fibre means I'm not be worried about going over weight when travelling by air and saves my back when carrying equipment up and down staircases. Lightweight, sturdy and versatile makes this a great little light stand.

When extended to the maximum, It starts wobbling like crazy
