Seems like a nice light stand. Was easy to install and carry. Only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is I'm not impressed with the quality control. When I received the shipment, the box was destroyed and partially open. It looked as if I was shipped an item that was previously returned or something. The finish was cracked on the bow rest arm but I used hockey tape to cover it up. The straps were inside a soak and wet zip lock bag with the directions completely saturated, which was odd.
