Neewer 2-in-1 Photography Light Stand, - Review

As a professional photographer, I am always on the lookout for equipment that is versatile, durable, and easy to use. The Neewer 2-in-1 Photography Light Stand met all my expectations and more.

This light stand is made of black anodized aluminum alloy, making it sturdy, durable, and corrosion-resistant, ensuring that it can withstand even the harshest outdoor environments. The stand comes with a sandbag that can work as a counterweight to balance the boom arm when mounting a heavy light fixture. Although the sandbag arrives empty, it can be filled with sand or other materials to provide the necessary stability.

The stand features a built-in spring cushion inside the center column, which can effectively offset the impact caused by sudden drops and protect your device from harm. This is particularly important when working in busy studios or outdoor environments when unexpected incidents can happen.

One of the key features of this stand is its 2-in-1 design. The convertible boom arm offers flexibility and versatility for photography device mounting. The screw knobs make it effortless to adjust the height, secure the stand, and convert the center column into a transverse boom arm. The boom arm comes with a front section that is stretchable from 0.8 to 3.8 feet and rotatable at 180 degrees, enabling me to achieve optimal angles for my photoshoots.

The light stand also featured a mid-level spreader attached to the tripod legs, maximizing the stability of the stand and preventing it from tipping over when using heavy equipment. The tripod legs are adjustable, with a telescoping center column that can extend from 3.6 to 9.7 feet (110.5 to 297 cm) and fold down to 3.2 feet (96.5 cm), making it easy to store and transport.

Another advantage of this light stand is its dual mounting threads. The reversible spigot features two mounting threads (1/4” and 3/8”), enabling it to be compatible with a wide array of photographic equipment, including ring lights, LED video lights, strobes, monolights, softboxes, reflectors, and umbrellas.

In terms of usability, this light stand is easy to set up and use, allowing me to focus on my photography without worrying about equipment failure or stability issues. The knobs and locks are easy to adjust, and the boom arm is secure, allowing me to get the perfect shot without any shake or wobble.

The only minor issue I encountered with this light stand is its weight. It is slightly heavier than other stands I have used but is still manageable, even when carrying it around for extended periods.

In conclusion, the Neewer 2-in-1 Photography Light Stand is a versatile, durable, and easy-to-use stand that ticks all the boxes for professional photographers. Its solid build quality, flexible boom arm, adjustable height, dual mounting threads, and built-in spring cushion make it an ideal choice for studio photo and video shooting. With a customer review rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars, it is clear that other photographers share my positive experience with this product.
