Review on Neewer 50cm / 20inch Aluminum Mini Tabletop Backlight Stand - Photography Studio Equipment (2 Stands) by Lisa Frank

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Poor quality but does the job

These two light stands are definitely not high quality but for the price I paid they are ok. One problem is that the clamps are plastic with screw tensioners. If you tighten the top clamp just enough to hold the stem up, you will have to flex the plastic a bit at the end. If the person over-tightens and loosens this clamp, it doesn't look like it will last long. I have a similar problem with the bottom clamp on the legs. If you install these racks and rarely adjust them, they'll probably hold up just fine. The legs are kinda loose and flexible because the holes for the rivets in them are too big. As a result, the frames lean noticeably to the side. So the quality is marginal, but they'll do the job they're designed to do.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Long delivery time
