Background stand

[ghache]

My current stand is starting to piss me off. 1 broken legs, unstable because i have to lock the leg with a penny.

I have around 200$ to put on a stand.

I came across this on bh and the reviews are excellent and i was wondering if anyone on here used this stand ?

If you are going to get that type of background stand, I'd suggest one that uses a standard light-stand stub at the top. I think it's 5/8. That way, you can use them as lights stands as needed and vice versa.

I bought one that has a smaller threaded stud at the top of the stand, and a wing nut to hold the bar on. It works fine, but I'd prefer them to be more interchangeable with the rest of my stands.

I received the stand yesterday and the stand is amazing. for the price, you cant go wrong, I didnt expect something that heavy duty for 150 $ + stands have regular 3/4 tips so i can used them as light stands. I didnt had 12 feet stands so its a new addition to my stand collection haha
