Heavy, stable and these wheels will come in handy! First, I like that the stand is disassembled. Some of the C-Racks I've bought (kupo) don't support them, so they're a bit more difficult to transport. Can be used with or without wheels. These wheels come in handy when I'm shooting without a helper. I can lock the wheels and not worry about the stand moving. I've used it with my large softbox and AD600PRO flash with no problems. Overall I have to say this is my favorite stand. I have recommended them to a couple. My photographer friends and she loved it too. I'll order a few more :)
