Wondering if it's worth getting the PBL or if Savage would be that much better.

Manfrotto or Avenger is my suggestion.

Avenger is $200 quality i'm looking for cheap but not Cowboy Studio cheap. :oops:

I already have Interfit stands and they work fine but i wanted to get something that was all metal for outdoor use.

I use the PBL ones. One of them had an issue with one of the clamping levers. I sent an email and they sent me a replacement. They seem to work pretty good.

Did you have to pay shipping to send it back or did they just send you a new piece to change out?

Nope.. They just sent me a new one. I asked if they wanted the old one back and they said no.

I bought from this store in Amazon marketplace. They don't have it in stock
