Anyone here use them or know if they are any good? I need some new light stands and these seem to be a really good deal, but I'm concerned about quality.

Thanks

I have 3...they are pretty damn sturdy. I'd say ebay them...be patient you'll get a good price...ohhh and they are spring loaded too so if they drop your strobes are semi safe.....amvona gets 9/10 from me...

I just bought a compact 6' and 8' stand from them 2 weeks ago. I would say they are great for the price. Quaility is ok (you get what you pay for I guess) but it's only a light stand, it serves it's purpose.

I got an Amvona AS-014S returned today because the sectional backdrop pole is bending at the joints even without nothing hanging on it. The color is silver only. I have ordered another better one Photoflex.

How much cheap you guys talking about/

The 9.3' impact air cushioned, heavy duty ones that get good reviews here only go for $39 at B&H.

Go Impact for the price. I got a Giotto for 55$ from BHphoto and I love it. I plan to get an impact since only 40$ to compare them.
