These stands seem capable. They are sturdy and fairly lightweight. I have no complaints.

A capable backpack that is reasonably roomy
on January 8, 2017
Posted by: adman
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros:
This backpack does the job. It holds quite a lot. There is room for most of the basic items. I carry the camera with medium zoom lens on the camera with reversed hoods; a longer zoom lens; a flash; a rolled-up flex-fill; a plastic box containing a shotgun mic and cable; and the usual lens caps, batteries and cleaning accessories in the pouches. On the outside, I carry a lightweight aluminum 60" tripod on a strap in its own bag; an LED light in a side pocket; a zoom motor attachment in the other side pocket with extra AA batteries; a gorilla-pod in the webbing in back; and an umbrella. I also add an aftermarket pouch strapped to the other side that contains a larger LED light.
Cons:
But the side straps are of little use and would have preferred a military molle-type horizontal strap on each side to attach after-market stuff. Also, the padding at the top is a bit thin. In fact, the padding on the outside is a bit thin so don't just drop the pack.
So it's pretty cram-packed with stuff and it hold it. It is comfortable to wear and has a chest strap for security on longer walks. The price for what you get is likely the best of the bunch. My pics don't show the camera in the backpack but I mount the smaller lens when it's packed.

Big bang for the buck

This is a good value item. It has the white diffusion layer; it has the shiny layer; and it can be reversed for ultimate diffusion. It's certainly worth the money. I recommend it. It breaks down to under 24" and is 33" when open, making it quite useful for close up photography and movie making.

It does the job OK

This item does the job. It holds the umbrellas as well as an LED light or other cold shoe mounted item. But the lock-in tilt angles are a bit large, not allowing for enough fine tuning at close range. The knobs are a bit plastic-y feeling as well.
But the big complaint is about the screw that tightens the cold shoe bracket -- it's way too short, it comes out too easily, falling on the floor in three pieces. You have to be extremely careful when mounting a cold shoe item. And it happens at about the width needed to slide anything into the mount; it doesn't take over-loosening to make it happen. I'll be going to the hardware store to find replacements for these screws.
