I looked at several different stands before deciding on this particular one. I am very pleased wit it. It doesnt come with instructions to put it together but it doesnt take much thought at all to figure it out (my 5 year old can do it without direction). It is very quick and easy to set up. The muslins are nice as well. I have used them both and like them very much. They are a really good size for full length shots. I do on location photography and this setup is absolutely perfect for me, especially that it comes with a case for the stand.

When I got this product I was so excited to set it up... except, I had a whole lot of bars and not much knowledge as to how they went together. There was no directions anywhere in the box. Well eventually I figured it out and the height and length are adjustable which is nice. The backdrops are easy to thread the rods through and are pretty high quality. I'm excited to take my first pictures with this item.

The stand is fantastic. I love it. The backdrops, yes, they are a little thin, but you can double them up and they work fine. I noticed that when plenty of light is used, the white backdrop is fine. The black one, needs to be thicker. BUT like I said, for the money, it is fantastic. I use photoshop anyway, so it's that easy to fix in the picture. THANKS!!

The light stand itself is sturdy and compact. fits right into my car trunk with the handy bag that comes with it. The only problem i experienced with the stand is that when trying to put together one side of the three piece pole on the top, it is hard to get it to jam together. the other side connects together easily. The muslin itself is the real issue. I wish there was some mechanism to have it easily draped onto the stand. You have to buy some nice clamps to keep this on and looking smooth. The backdrop is also not wide enough. sure, the stand is 15' wide, but the muslin isn't close to being that wide. Also, this doenst come with anything to store the muslins in. I keep it in the cardboard box it came in. So unless you can Photoshop pretty decently to take out rinkles, make it look wider and make the muslin's black look blacker and white look whiter, go with some paper backdrop for the excellent stand. At least I can Photoshop, but some others can't or don't want to go through the hassle and waste precious time.

I love the ease of the support system, very simple setup and breakdown. My only problems with it is the thin quality of the backdrops. Mostly they are fine, but for a few photoshoots I am able to see whatever is behind the cloth. Able to fix with photoshop, but it would be nice if I didn't have to!

Overall, great product!
