Beware of the plastic locking collars
3 Stars
Beware of the plastic locking collars
The tubular structure of the stands feel solid and the air cushioning is adequate. The base is wide enough to extend your gear to the max height and not feel worried about the stand tipping. The main downside is the plastic locking collars. You have to be VERY careful tightening the knobs. I used no more force than I normally use when tightening a tripod clamp/collar and the plastic cracked, the screw/nut retracted out from the collar, and that extending section of the stand became completely useless. I've uploaded a picture that clearly shows how weak the plastic is on this stand. Again, this was not a result of excessive force on my part. I re-ordered but will treat these stands cautiously.
