OVERVIEW:
This is a small, collapsible stand that I think works well for a small light, but not for heavy things, like interchangeable lens cameras. This is super easy to set up and take down, and folds small (so it's easy to carry more than 1, if needed).

MAIN POINTS:
PART 1: IS IT PORTABLE?
PART 2: IS IT AFFORDABLE?
PART 3: IS IT COMMON?
PART 4: HOW’S THE QUALITY?
PART 5: IS IT EASY TO USE?
PART 6: NEEDS ADD-ONS?
PART 7: WHERE DO I BUY?

PART 1: IS IT PORTABLE?
Yes, it's super portable, and can fit in the side pouch of most backpacks (or can easily fit in a tripod bag).

PART 2: IS IT AFFORDABLE?
Yes, compared to buying a normal light stand, it's a little less expensive than that (but I only use it for small and light lights).

PART 3: IS IT COMMON?
Yes, and there are a few other versions (some are not all metal, but this one is and I recommend it and the MT-80).

PART 4: HOW’S THE QUALITY?
The quality is good, as it's strong enough to hold a small 10 inch LED panel (which is the main thing I use it for, and don't recommend using it for a camera).

PART 5: IS IT EASY TO USE?
Yes, it very easy to transport, set up and tear down, because it's a selfie stick that collapsed down to about the size of a track & field baton (but it weighs more, of course, but that's a good thing, LOL).

PART 6: NEEDS ADD-ONS?
No.

PART 7: WHERE DO I BUY?
I bought this on Amazon.

RECOMMENDATION:
This stand is an essential part of my kit (and it and the MT-80 are the two stands I recommend for supporting small LED video lights). I do recommend this, but only for using with smaller items like the 10" LED light panel I use for the T-Lighting method, and I wouldn't put a heavy camera on it.

These reviews are just my opinion and are focused on my Q.P.A.C.E. packing method, so they're not comprehensive. I wrote these mostly to help me remember what items worked for my KIT PLANS (and which didn't). If I said anything negative I apologize, as these products still may work well for you in your situation, but they were not Q.P.A.C.E (Quality, Portable, Affordable, Common, Easy-to-Use) enough for my budget filmmaking KIT PLANS.
