Does anyone own any?
I see them listed but don't see any videos or reviews on them. is the post 20" without legs? How tall do they go?
I've looked at c stands and like them a lot, but the 40" ones are just too big for me to pack around.

You wouldn't typically use them as a light stand for key light - they're for typically for a low angle fill, or to hold a low angle reflector, or a leg light, or for tabletop holding nets/flags/reflectors close to the table surface. bigVinnie wrote in post #18567403 Does anyone own any?

I've looked at c stands and like them a lot, but the 40" ones are just too big for me to pack around. I bought 4 small c-stands for a very specific use and they worked great. Without knowing your intended use, or the stands you are talking about, it's impossible to comment.

I want to replace those with something more sturdy and durable. I have one light that needs to go tall, but for kickers I think about 4' high is about all I need. I'm wondering if the 20" c stands would do the trick. So again, I don't know what stand you are talking about. I have used 3 different sized c stands, two of them were about 20".

Thanks for that. Don't know why it didn't show up when I was searching.
