Let me start off by saying too often good products get bad reviews as a result of consumers blind buying and or choosing products without educating themselves about the product by not only reading the product description but also by reviewing the product weight and dimensions to determine if said product will meet their needs and standards.The K&F Concept brand is about offering Lightweight, compact, affordable studio gear with features previously only found in high end and or commercial studio gear.This money saving K&F Concept brand offers optimal versatility by offering multiple features sort of an all in one design that you will not find in even the most heavy duty high end studio gear.This extremely competitively priced K&F Concept brand is designed with the idea of offering ready to use out the box videography and photography products by eliminating the need to buy other accessories and attachments. Let’s put things into perspective; with this light stand.K&F gives us a multi adapter light stand mount instead of the traditional light stand mount. This alone saves one $30 to $100+ while creating the opportunity to use this light stand as a tripod with it’s 1/4 and 3/8 screw holes. It also gives you the ability to mount multiple devices on it at once such as a light source and monitor or a monitor and camera or a camera and light source or even two light sources all without the need of buying expensive hardware.In addition to the multi attachment adapter this light stand features a spring cushion previously only found in heavy, bulky commercial grand light stands that cost several hundred and standing above 9ft tall these aren’t features you will find in an entry level light stand nor is it something you will find in a non modern prosumer light stands of yesteryears. This is in fact a light duty prosumer light stand, the price is unbeatable and if this isn’t best in class then what is?Is this as heavy, robust and durable as the light stands of yesteryears? Absolutely not and in todays market with camera and video gear becoming lighter and lighter there’s absolutely no need for a heavy light stand unless you have a heavy duty camera rig and anyone who would argue otherwise is out of touch with the demand of todays content creators who need gear that’s lightweight, durable and most importantly portable. K&F delivers all of that with this light stand that is of insane value in more ways than one and is no doubt a must buy and a suitable replacement for your old and heavy light stand.
