Used Manfrotto 005B Light Stand

Just got this used stand and the three-section lock holds my strobe perfectly steady even at full extension over 8ft. For the price of a used one, the build feels solid enough for regular studio use.

I needed a sturdy stand for my speedlights on location shoots, and the aluminium build on this used model feels solid without being too heavy. The three-section legs extend smoothly and lock tight, and at over 8ft it gives me plenty of height for umbrella setups.

The three-section locking collars are reassuringly tight, even with my strobe and softbox up top. It extends past my head without a wobble, and the aluminium build feels like it'll outlast my other gear.
