I have some Manfrotto gear now, really like the quality but I'm not set on brand names, also I don't think the stands will get that much use. Amateur photographer

A friend of mine has this setup and seems to be very happy with it. I was going to order this myself but decided to build a diy stand with PVC and have been VERY pleased with the results (only spent $30 on supplies as well).

Do you have room to wall-mount? If so, there are a lot of advantages. One big one is that a couple of hooks and a piece of conduit work well for very little $.
